Holy shit, I'm doing an Ironman

2.4mi swim. 112mi bike. 26.2mi run.

It hit me this weekend. After a 17mi long run yesterday and an 85mi bike ride today, suddenly the Ironman has become a much bigger deal. I always knew it would be hard, but now that we're starting to do the really long, hard workouts, it is suddenly seeming a whole lot harder.

If only it were metric!

Thanks for the comments! I think the nervousness is in check again, well at least for another few weeks until something else causes me to freak out :)

Mike, I look forward to hearing about your nervousness and we need to catch up one of these days!
