Final stretch.....



"This is it! the last week until our big day!" I can't believe it, it's almost here!!!! Now do I sound excited or what! lol.. Yes maybe a little..

Ivan and I went down to Victoria on Saturday to pre-ride the course and to run the trail. The bike route is very scenic but I find it to be very hilly and curvy. I am thinking though while the race is on it will be ok cause of all the other riders and less traffic. When we were on our ride there was a lot of traffic and it was very intense at times because many of the areas are with out shoulders and some cars did not give us any room.

The run was awesome though because it brings back so many memories of my many ultra marathons I have done there. After the run I went into the water up to my knees and it was so warm. I hope it stays that way till after our race or longer if it can.

We are now in full taper which is great so some of my nagging pains will heal and I will be good and ready.. I am just wanting to take in the whole day, every second of it and to feel great the whole time.. Now that's not asking too much is it? he he.. Oh and one more thing.. just to make it out of the swim portion alive! he he..

6 more sleeps now.. I will post right before the race to let you know how crazy I am going and then it will be race report time!
