Oh, boy. Six days til the gun goes off.
The last week has been a bit stressful. Lots of issues with servers and hosting of my sites. Some twinges in my sciatica (sp?), left side. Trying to focus on stretching it out and taking it easy on my runs.
Starting to get all anal about stuff. Got some new Zoot shorts and a neoprene seat cover. Fixed up the bike yesterday with new rear bottle cage and my Brothers Zipps. The chain is rubbing a bit on a couple cogs so might look into getting a new chain. I guess you’re supposed to change the chain every thousand miles or so. Hmm… Oops.. not sure I’ve ever changed the chain, probably 10,000 miles on it 
Oh!
Need to pack stuff up tonight as we start our journey tomorrow. Breaking the drive into two days, 5 hours each so as to not screw up the body sitting in the car too long. Should be in Pentincton Wednesday afternoon.
Beginning to focus too much on what my time is going to be. I’m basing things on where I’m at now and what i could do if I push it. Rather than relax and remember my initial goals set 6 months ago. I need to get my head right and just focus on that, it is my first. I need to focus on how far I’ve come and hitting targets set when i started the journey and not worry about where I need/want to go. There will be plenty more IM’s for that. Thinking of doing Wisconsin next year. Scratch that, I am doing Wisconsin next year. I need to be sure to get online and sign-up in Sept. Make sure you guys remind me and hold me too it, no matter how bad I might still feel from Canada
Who’s in? Road trip to WI07!

Hey man - keep cool and stay relaxed…think of what you’d say to any of us posting on Trifuel about focus and try to live it out.
I’m in taper for IMWI, and just this weekend on my last long workouts realized how truly important it is to keep a smile on your face. It really does help - sets the right tone and attitude. Remember to take the race as it comes and live in the moment out there. You’ll do great - I can’t wait to read all about it. Best of luck man, you’ll have a great race!
