Small daydreams...

This whole week was a bit of a challenge for me...physically mostly...little aches, clicks, tightness... the volume down to just about nothing in order to be fresh on the day. Everybody that has ever done IM, who I have told this to all said the same thing "totally normal".

Mentally, as well, the struggle lies in being able to shut down. I also wonder "am I ready for this?"... I know the answer. I have put in the time, the miles. It will be an incredible day!

In one week (and 30 minutes) the canon will fire and the day the I (we) have prepared for over the last 6, 8, 10 months...will finally be here! The day will be perfect...I have small daydreams and visions of its perfection everyday.

Its all coming together...Yesterday I picked up my new 2008 frame, rebuilt...she's a beauty...I was so excited to ride it...for my 17 mile hammer (ha)... and then on to 3.5 miles on the Dry Creek Trail....where I have put in what seems like a bazillion miles over the last several months...

Last minutes prep today and tomorrow. Tuesday we hit the road early with Beej and Jess for the first leg of our two stop, in Bozeman, on the way to CDA!
