Generally speaking, not a bad week. On the publicity side, my daughter and a friend posted the blog address on Facebook, and the hits started coming in. Another good reason to have kids! (There are actually quite a few of them!) I'm hoping to get together with Student Council at school and see if we can figure out a way to do some marketing. Any ideas, and I'll take them. One person has suggested making T-shirts with my image on them! Oh, yeah, I can see the possibilities!
On the training side, it's a bit busy with school, tennis (I coach the school's tennis team) and training. (But we did win one of our matches this week!) It seems to be going alright, with me adjusting where I have to to compensate for reality. The new experience for the week, thought, was something I really have not had happen before. After my long Saturday workout, I started to feel a bit off. Nothing too bad, but definitely not right. Truth be told, one of my biggest fears is not being undertrained for the race, but the nutritional issues. Back in the day, I knew someone who ran in three Ironman races, and only completed one. It wasn't that he didn't train, it was getting hit with stomach issues. Racing for that amount of time you need to eat and drink, but the stress on the body can make unpleasant things happen. They actually talk about the nutritional component of the race as the fourth element. So I'm going to be a tad bit concerned for the next few weeks to see what happens - which hopefully will be nothing.
Thanks for reading and spread the word.
