"The countdown"

A picture of my daughter running in a tot race a couple of weeks ago. She surprises me every week with every obstacle she overcomes.. Today, her first pony ride. Previous attempts have been met with kicking and screaming...

Okay, this weeks is a recovery training week.. Trying to get some sleep and do some easy training sessions... Got in a 5 hour 80 mile ride and 40 mile ride in last week. With a comfortable brick run afterwards... Felt great..

Okay after talking to 2 surgical doctors and one sports doctor about my "Hernia", they gave me the green light to race, or should I say precautionary yellow flag for IM Wisconsin.. The sports doctor even prescribed physical therapy that might help me eliminate the need for surgery..

Okay my 2nd surgical doctor consult (unofficial consult) told me the sports doctor was a load of "crap" . But all I want is a chance to race, eventhough I will have to take a easier training schedule and pace myself more during the race...

But IRONMAN WISCONSIN here I come.. Knock, knock on wood..
