Beatrice…more rain???

If you’ve been reading my BLOG’s you know that bad weather has followed me as I have criss-crossed the country this year.  This past weekend was no exception.  I was in Beatrice Nebraska for the Homestead Days Celebration.  Saturday was a parade (this was the first year ever that it rained) then Sunday was the Bow-N-Go Triathlon and the 10k Run.  Apparently, in past years it has been hot and sunny…this year, I show up and it rains!!!  It was, however a great weekend and thanks to Dienes Pharmacy for hosting me…great people!

On Wednesday of this week I leave for Coeur d’ Alene for Ironman, my third year in a row doing this event.  Hard to believe it’s here already.  I am excited although slightly apprehensive as my very busy travel schedule this year has cut into my long training runs and rides…but at 7:00 am on Sunday morning that won’t matter much - adrenaline will kick in (and I hope muscle memory too) and I’m sure I will be fine.  If I can successfully manage my blood sugar and the weather cooperates (not couting on that one) I should have a great race.  You can follow me at http://www.ironmanlive.com  Just find the “Athlete Tracker” for Ironman Couer d’ Alene.

Check back next week for my race recap.
