Running Fast

I leave for Florida on Tuesday. Remember the race is Saturday, November 4th, not Sunday like most Ironman races. I will of course be posting via Blogger Mobile through my cell phone like I occasionally do. Those that have my phone number will be speaking with Mistress on race day since my phone has a longer battery.

I can access my blogger comment email through my cell phone so if you leave me words of encouragement or questions about how to get ahold of me by cell phone, I can respond if your email is attached to your comment on my end, (meaning not listed as 'nonreply-comment@blogger"

Beginning Thursday link over to Ironman Live and on the right side top is a 'ironman live' tab. This will take you to a selection page, type in MANN or bib number 758 to follow my progress. Search around a bit to see if there is a link for text messaging available updates instead of having to man the pc all day. If my directions did not work, then figure it out I have too many other things going on.

Woke up at 0330 to go to the Soma Triathlon Sunday morning. Had a great time, not nearly as restive as I wanted it to be. Without giving away too much information, I saw Nytro and Benny all over the place. Met a very disabled and frustrated TriGreyhound and is very nice wife. Just good people there. Wish there was more I could have done to help. Got heaps of praise and well wishes from my friends in the local tri community.

On Saturday I put my deposit down and turned in my design work for my tattoo. Yes I am getting it here not there. Will go into that in a later post, after I have earned it.

Very busy Monday at work and trying to get the last odds and ends done before leaving at 0445 for the airport Tuesday.

I have maybe 95% of my race gear ready and 75% of my travel gear ready. None of its packed. I figure if I get there without living clothes I'll buy what I need. Go native so to speak. I am spoiling myself financially. As if there was any doubt.
