I’m supposed to go to Borrego Springs tomorrow to do a 3-hour ride. Let’s hope I can wake up after today’s century and tonight’s party. We are doing Borrego Springs mainly for heat training.
Just did my final OW swim in San Diego yesterday. Nice swim like always. I’ll have to do some short half-milers out in Kona before the race.
I’m not content about my long runs yet. I may do one 21 miler on Monday, making that my last training session in San Diego.
The coach has me doing a few short sessions as part of the taper in Kona. I’m also attending a seminar next weekend meant to introduce triathletes to the scorcher that is Kona–the seminar is touted as giving you more tools to ensure you finish IM Kona in style.
I guess you can call my training done. It is what it is. Finishing fast was never my goal; rather, it was to experience the race course with the world’s best triathletes. Looking forward to it!
Packing my bike on Monday. Having the local bike store (where I bought the bike from) check the bike and pack it for the flight. I’m having them change the chain and the whole interior/exterior tire sets front and back. I’ll have to test out the bike again several times in Kona to ensure things are a go.
Kona–here I come!
