      Morning.  RD, so Pilates and Barre classes to make me limp at the end of the day.

          Good morning!

           

          I ran 3.7 miles.  That may be my LR for the week Smile.

           

          I hope everyone has a great day!

                Hi.

                 

                I won 'eh? Cool. Big grin

                  Anyway, I ended up running 7, I think. My Garmin took a shit just before mile 6 so I just guesstimated the final split.

                   

                  It was actually a decent morning for jogging, as those things go.

                      I'm the cool kid wearing sunglasses indoors.    (Not a smiley face though.)

                      I got a new computer at work.  It is beyond frustrating that I need IT to do every stupid little thing.  Like... when they asked what software I needed, and I said Adobe suite?  I meant the whole thing, not just Acrobat.  And when he comes back with the computer that is supposedly all ready to go and I ask what happened to Adobe and he shows me Acrobat... yeah, my head hurts.  I'm sitting in front of this fancy new computer (with an unnecessarily massive screen) and I can't even do anything with it because nothing is functional and I don't have the credentials to change it.

                        Grr, sorry about that.  Fingers crossed for your race!

                         

                        I'm headed out for intervals.  First I had to braid my hair so I can pretend I'm Jenny Simpson.

                            She killed it. First ever medal in the 1500m for an American woman I believe.

                             

                            Shit, I might braid my hair too.

                              Ok, for anyone that will be completely bored off their asses ALL DAY Sunday, here is a link to my race tracking:

                               

                              http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/coverage/live.aspx#axzz4HOzwPr4u

                               

                              It'll be Ironman Mont-Tremblant when it's up and my bib is 2029.  My race starts at 6:48 AM.  If you're wondering how I'll be progressing based on my expectations, I am hoping to be in these ballparks:

                              Swim 2.4 miles:  1:30

                              Bike 112 miles:  6:30 (17.2 mph)

                              Run 26.2 miles:  4:00 (9:09 pace)

                              Transitions plus stops (pee and refuel):  30 minutes

                               

                              That'll put me at 12:30.  Coach said 13 hours would be good, and 12 hours is a possibility.  All that being said, crossing the finish line before the 17 hour cutoff is my first priority.   I know too many people that missed their goal times by hours, so I really just want to finish.

                               

                              There are about 20 timing mats.  Everything is metric though, so hopefully Cyberic will be around to help convert the km/hour paces to something people here can understand.  Hope my Garmin doesn't crap out!
