"Thinking"

Just thinking mind you but I am considering a backup strategy for the run portion of the Ironman. So many people tell me that there is a very good chance that I will have to walk at some point. While I don't want to do that I also want to be realistic. And I don't want to blow up and end up in the medical tent or end up crawling. For me, finishing is the most critical consideration and then staying in control comes after that. I want to smile when I cross the finish line. So towards that end I did a bit of a test run this aft. I went 14.5 kms by repeatedly running 5 mins and then walking for 2. It was very stress free. I'm just thnking mind you!

I had a few idiot moments today
1) after 2 days I finally figured out john and ellys banter about "unionized" workers!
2) "after" I dropped the keys to my rental car down the return slot I realized I left something important in the car!!
3) on the way home I sat at a 4 way stop for about 30 seconds waiting for the light to change!

I wish to dedicate day 174 to my good friend David Shugert who's moving back to Mexico...it is such a pleasure to work with him again.
