30 Days

30 short days until IMTX.  I still have more to do on my training plan (including my long ride this weekend of 100 - which will basically be my second century) and some higer volume runs.

I've come to realize that I'm not going to be as prepared as I want to be for this race.  I accept that and can take blame for about 90% of why I'm not there or where I want to be.

If I can finish within 15 hours I will be fine.

The break down is like this:

90 minute swim
15 minute transition
7 hour bike
15 minute transition
6 hour marathon

That's 15 hours on the nose.  I'd love to go sub 13:30 but I don't think that's in the cards.

I'm going to have fun and soak in the day/night......

I'm sure that y'all have heard about the explosion in West, TX.  West is a VERY small town about half way between my town and Austin.  I think most people in the Dallas area know where it is becuase you have to go thru it on the way to Waco/Austin.....and they have the best kolaches in the world.  If there is a kolache that exists they make it.  There are several of these shops right off the highway....and I've never been to one that I haven't had to wait at least 20 minutes in line.  They are that popular.

Keep these people in your prayers......
