Ok, I am starting to freak out a bit. Just thought I'd share this with everyone.

My family and co-workers/ friends will be there. They asked what support they should provide. I simply asked for a sign that reads "Don't Die Anthony, don't die."

Longhorn?  Is that in 9 days?  If I count right?

It's my first HIM in 2 years...yet somehow...I am not in freakout mode yet.  I'm supposed to be going there at the beginning of a month long road trip...I have no hotel plans yet and haven't even begun to pack or find someone to watch my dogs....yet...no freakout.

Someone remind me to freakout please.

Zen baby, zen.

Befor emy first this past June I watched last year's Kona coverage. Seeing Roger Beekie(sp) the pro that that was walking really stuck with me, I knew I was going to finish no matter what.

Of course, lightening struck at as I finished my first run loop and I got yanked form the course, and I still haven't finished a HIM but you'll do great

Good luck! 

Trust your training, rely on adrenaline, and pray for help.

If it's your first HIM relax.  Go at a moderate pace, stay within yourself, no matter what time you finish it will be a HIM PB  

Make sure to enjoy the day.  You put in all those hours of training and the HIM is simply the celebration of all that training.

Me too, but out on the east coast. Just cross the line on two feet, then pass out!

Thanks, but I prefer my freakouts to be in solitude.

Having a crap run this morning isn't helping things any either.
