Countdown- 8 Weeks till Ironman.

I have 8 weeks of training left until I compete in the Ironman Florida 70.3. Goal will be to just finish the race. I have up'd my training this week to try and prepare myself for the grueling distances of this race. This week I will hit 7.5 miles on the long run and advance that every week by one mile. My long ride this week will be at a distance of 40 miles and advance that by 3-5 miles every week until the race. Swimming will also be a series of drills and long swims. I am going to start lake swimming with a couple triathletes from a local club.
Not as nervous about this race now that I have one under my belt. One stress point is the fact that there will be 2500+ competitors swimming at the same time. Hopefully I can do better in this swim than I did in the Wildman Triathlon.
AFN!
