...what I've signed up for. My mind keeps turning over the sheer numbers of Ironman. And by sheer numbers I mean aside from all the milage. $$$, hours of sleep, jars of peanut butter...
But I love numbers, so I'm going to track them as best as possible. As of now:
Age: USAT age 34 (35 on race day)
Height: 66 inches (the one number that won't change!)
Weight: 132 lbs (great fit for me this year, shouldn't change much either)
Body fat: 15.3% (according to that questionably accurate scale I have)
Average weekly mileage now at the end of 70.3 season:
Swiming: 2000-3000y (!!)
Biking: 100 miles
Running: 30 miles
Hours: 8-10
Money spent so far: $827
$210 for swimming lessons--paid a few weeks ago, but purchased for this race
$40 for compression sleeve calf socks
$1 for a 140.6 sticker
$550 for IM registration
$26 for Active.com to process above registration
Miles since I've signed up:
Swimming: 2000y
Running: 6.5 miles
The swimming $$ is only just now starting to be worth it. Yesterday's swim was the first one in which I felt the benefit of my new drills. So while I lament the money being handed over for that at least I'm feeling some improvement.
We pack up tonight and leave tomorrow morning for Redman, maybe my last race of the year. I keep telling myself to relax and enjoy it, not race it, but I'll see what happens when I hit the Start line.
