My first post after training for almost 7 months. I am less than 8 days away from Ironman Arizona which will be held in Tempe on November 23. I spent today running around to local bike shops and running stores for last minute supplies. We leave for Arizona on Wednesday and my goal is to be packed and ready for the trip by tomorrow. Am I ready for this? Yeah, I feel prepared and rested and am simultaneously excited and a nervous.
