IMFL-less then 2 weeks..
Hi Florida Peeps,
Our bib #'s are up ! 2520 is mine . Packing the bags, using BikeTransport and my DH is leaving for Toronto ( my drop off) on wednesday. So packing all the essential race stuff in one bag. Second bag with secondary stuff on airplane for next tuesday. All set, just need to fit it in the bag and hope it's less then 25pds !
And house needs to be super clean since my sister is coming over to take care of the kids when we are away. Got a massage today, hamstring on my right side a bit tight and getting some ART on it on wednesday. Need it to be ready to fire by race day. I'm happy i'm done with the long stuff. I think the long runs with my off camber road did a number on my right side..
This week's nutrition will be super duper clean. I'm also working on being positive,calm,focused self. And also getting as much sleep as I can.
We are almost there !!!! Can't wait to meet you all !! Again, staying at the Summit and arriving on Tuesday, will be there for dinner on thursday with DH and hoping for some group swims too !

Since this is my first Ironman, I'm going to let myself get a little caught up in the excitement and enjoy the whole experience!
Hope everyone's taper is going well, we're in the home stretch now...

I couldn't find the bib numbers on-line. Where did you find yours?
Thanks

Rock it, Team Florida! You are almost there! Can't wait to watch you all online!
woot - seeing the number makes it real, ya know? scary and exciting. I got a lump in my throat. 2359
I've been working on my packing lists, checklists, race day plan... just posted my race day plan if you want to check it out (for feedback and/or to help you with yours).
I am really quite amazed to say that as of now I am on target with my workouts this week. I did the run yesterday at lunch and the swim last night. I did the brick this morning. Funny that it took me all season and it's the last real week when I'm finally on track for once! Better late than never!
I am curious for someone to give a review on the new airport and new bike course.
Enjoy the beach, the sun, the sand, and after the race the cheap beer.
One more thing, when P said it got dark early he wasn't lying. The little avatar on the left is me last year.....that is 5:03 PM (10:03) The picture made it appear darker than it was, and some years depending on when daylight savings falls it gets dark right about the 11 hr mark. Also, PCB is on CST. It is due south of Indianapolis on the US map.
#661 here.
Getting excited! I'm dropping my bike today for tune-up and starting to make lists and piles of stuff to take to Panama City Beach!

Dropped the bike and gear bag this afternoon for TriBike Transport to pick up tomorrow!
Feeling "antsy" with the reduced training volume - ready to get to Florida!
I am bib #1337 - awesome! I love that number!!! Ha Ha just kidding.
Excited about everything. I am amazed the race is almost here.
Good job everyone. I will be in Panama city Wed night! See all Thurs!!!
bike in shop for the quick tune up. Had to ride my rode bike this am - weird feeling not being in aero bars!
Go Go team EN?
