I am a super excited to race tomorrow. I love ironman.
When I first did IMFL in 2008, I thought it was a lot of fun. A great day, actually. But, I wasn't truly in love. I thought my achievement was awesome, but I just didn't really get the whole peleton/drafting thing. Everyone had these super high expectations for the course, and I just didn't get the vibe. No one seemed satisfied with their race, as if you had to set a land speed record to be happy. I think different courses connect with different people, and Florida didn't truly touch me. But, I liked the distance and loved doing it with my friends.
I tried the distance again in 2011 in Wales and I was in love. I had so much fun I was in tears when I crossed the line. A few weeks later I told Tim I wasn't ready to give the distance a break. I loved ironman and wanted to do another one. And I was completely right. I love being here.

Pre- race dinner with Keith. I wore my Star Wars T-shirt because tomorrow there is No Try. I am going to Do. And Keith is going to Do Ironman #10.
Okay, Dave is telling me to go to bed. Night night!!!
