Looks like I'm not the only one that dislikes most birds

Getting my OM on pre race

I found a really big monkey

Home Sweet Home

...at least for the next few days. Feeling relaxed and ready for
Saturday. Many thanks for all of the well wishes! I'll carry them
with me on race day! Now time to find food and wine.

I get by with a little help from my friends

Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, meets up with Aeon Flux.

Michael Phelps was spotted with a "roadie cup" - I'm guessing it was Gatorade.

...And there's Borat about to "maka sexy time", opening his famous green man-thong-kini.


These are a few pictures from Saturday's madness, I'll be sure to post more, just after I'm done getting reamed out by my coach for partying a bit too hard. In other news, Sam woke up with a black eye. That's what you get for messing with Lara Croft!

I should take it as a good sign that my energy is returning and I was able to last the night! A few more days until Fla... hopefully I can detox my system by then!

My Life in Fruit

My Life in Fruit

I'm a healthy eater, ironman being a little over a week away doesn't change my eating habits much, save for the fact I'm eating A LOT!  

Lots of seasonal fruits and veggies (and a few splurges in there -raspberries) and plenty of carbs, protein and good

 fats.  As y'all know, I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian (eat eggs, milk), but I'm also anemic and b12 defficient. So to combat those deficiencies and the sleepiness they bring, I do a lot of combining of food.  OJ with iron rich foods and well, b12 shots don't exactly fall into the food category, but they make me feel better instantly!

Onward for this last bit of training!
