Mid Summer and the half way point

This ironman stuff keeps you busy!

Two weeks ago I managed 300 miles on the bike and twenty hours of training! Wow, I would have thought that impossible but as I do one thing, I look to see if I can better that. I guess some people would call that obsessive!:-)

I've raced twice since Buffalo Springs, Boerne and Marble Falls. A 2nd place and a 3rd place in age group and it's very fun to see my speed returning.

It's funny how your whole life revolves around one goal. Your food, your sleep, your day's plans, your social life(or lack there of!) and your personal habits. OK, so the house can go dirty for a while.

It's been hot also. One day I went out in the afternoon to ride in 105 degrees! I would think it's probably 115 on the pavement. The air was hot to breathe, my drink was hot within minutes.

But it's happening! I'm having so much fun and a whole new set of social friends. It's incredible!
