Suddenly.... It got real!

<p>Last night I spent about 3 hours screwing with travel arrangements for the trip to Florida... trip to Las Vegas... trip to Knoxville... trip to CDA (!).. then Seattle... then Vancouver... then Portland... And all before 7/6/11!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plus I was looking at my schedule... I haven't had a rest day since 1/1 (when I was sick). But I'm feeling good. Real good, actually. I've had recovery days, instead of full on rest day. EZ swims or run or bike days, for example. Some optional. But I've hit 'em all without even thinking about it. COOL.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My first training trip (Florida) is in 1 week.</p>
<p>My first half iron of the year is in 7 weeks. (with an 8 day training trip added to it)</p>
<p>My second half iron is in 7 after that.</p>
<p>My first FULL iron is in 6 after that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Suddenly... it all seems so soon. OMG... um.... apparently I signed up for an Ironman. <span><img alt="tongue3.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/tongue3.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>Bring it. Getting excited finally!</p>

<p>There's nothing quite like making travel/lodging arrangements to bring home the reality of doing a race.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm taking Amtrak to DC in October for MCM, because I don't want to drive and get stiff, and the idea of flying these days is just too overwhelming for me (security, etc.).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I figure the train will allow me to chill out a bit more easily and have more movement after the race than driving and/or flying.  Plus, I can take stuff with me to entertain myself. </p>
