Well, I'm 4 days away from Ironman 70.3 in Hawaii. Having suffered a fairly bad back injury 10 days ago, I considered pulling myself from the event, but have since decided to go forward and do the race. It won't be for any PR's, but merely to cross the finish line and get my $350 worth of stuff :-)
In the last 10 days I've run twice, biked once, and swam once, so it was one serious taper, if you can even call it a taper. It has been very frustrating. Start time is something like 6:53 on June 1st, Hawaii time. I think that's like 9:53am PDT. We fly out on the 30th, so I'm really not giving myself much time to aclimate, but this one was really more for fun and the trip is more for the family than the race. Looking forward to a vacation after a very long training season and a great race in OZ!
