On June 22nd, I will be swimming 2.4 miles in the Mediterranean, riding 112 miles through the mountains outside the Nice, France and the running 26.2 miles along the Promenade des Anglais as I try to finish my first Ironman. The date is fast approaching and the abstract goal that has been rattling around in my brain for years will be put to the test.
The logistics are all set. My body is ready as it will be. This race the culmination of 4 years of training and racing. I have trained specifically for this race for three months logging hundreds of miles in the water, on the bike and by foot. Can I do it? There is only one way to find out. Try. At its essence, that is why I race -- to test the limits of my mind, my body, and my world. Should be fun.
