I can't believe that the Timberman 1/2 Ironman is less than 2 weeks away. I'm getting very nervous!

I have done all of the training and wish that coach Sharon took tapering 1/2 as seriously as I typically do for a marathon.  Doesn't tapering mean quit working out all together for 3 weeks? Last Saturday, 2 weeks from race day, Sharon had me doing a 50 mile bike ride followed by a 12 mile run!

I can't believe that I'm starting month 2 of my training for the Timberman 1/2 Ironman with Sharon Johnson.   It's bad that I haven't done a blog since I started but I've been training!   Sharon has me working out 6 days a week with one cherished day off.  I can't say that I feel much stronger but I'm trusting that I am.   My legs are in a constant state of fatigue so they will know the feeling well on race day.   My friend Terry and I were planning on riding the bike course tomorrow but after several weeks of no rain

First off, thank you so much for the shirts. We love them! We are all proud to show that we earned our Bragging Rights

So, I hired a trainer to help me with my triathlon training. I've signed up for the Timberman ½ Ironman on August 22nd. I'm not sure that this was the smartest thing that I've ever done but my friend Jane and I decided that we wanted to do something different than just marathons. You’d think that I would work up to doing a ½ Ironman rather than just jumping in but hey, why not just do it? I’ve only done two sprints in my life and those were over 5 years ago. Now you know why I needed to hire a trainer!

These glasses took 30 minutes off my Denver half marathon time! hehe

Seriously, they are lightweight, comfortable. They stayed securely on the bridge of my nose for each of the 13.1 miles. And that was the first time I’d ever worn them…right out of the box! I’d recommend these glasses to anyone.

Thank you, Bragging-Rights!
