Most of my time in the last week was spent on a summer vacation in the presence of my family including extended family in from all over the US and Internationally. The time was spent around our bi-annual reunion here in Indiana and then a family wedding in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The fact that I would soon be doing an Ironman was of high topic in most of my conversations. The amount of support was terrific. The training not so much. This in the midst of one of my biggest weeks so far is a bit concerning. By spending 8 days on the road and at a pretty frantic pace I had some struggles. My training days were jumbled, my consumption of food and beverage was more glutinous than in nearly 10 months, and my rest was not so much with the time and altitude differences. With the combination of all of this I am bit on edge. I had hopes going in, that these would be good strong workouts that would begin to build momentum. Instead I am bit more insecure. Fortunately, I have a bit more time to work the details and hone my final endurance. Besides, opportunities to see and spend quality time with family is equal in time and importance as training time. I feel fortunate and blessed to have the family support that I have. Back to reality 18 more days........
