LOL, it's only been 8 months since I've posted. I forgot all about this blog thing. It's funny to go back and read my 2008 goals. Things haven't gone as expected this year but I am still ready for Timberman. I've had breakthroughs in both swimming and biking and while not so much in running I am definitely stronger. I don't think a sub-1:30 Timberman is realistic but I do have some revised goals:
A) sub-1:35
B) sub-1:38:39 (Timberman PR)
C) sub-1:40:00
This is the first Timberman where I have no sense of dread at all. I am anxious to see what I can do. I am highly confident. It's not about finishing. I am going to race hard wire-to-wire because I've done the training that will let me. It's not sub-1:30 training like I envisioned at the beginning of the year but it's what I could do being a dad, a husband, a worker-bee and fighting knee problems since April.
I am definitely nowhere near my weight goal. I am still 215-ish. That's 20lbs heavier than where I wanted to be. I am not sure how realistic that was either. I have to say though it's a bridge I need to cross if I am going to take this thing to the next level in 2009. I have strange thoughts, crazy thoughts: Mooseman International.
Only six days until Timberman and I honestly can say: I CANNOT WAIT!
