So you are all aware that Hallie and I are putting in crazy miles swimming, biking, and running!!! Probably more so than we actually should be doing- but that's what happens when you have a sister who is different than any other athlete!!!
Can you believe we are 9 weeks away from the IRONMAN!!!!
So today - I decided i would enlighten you with what Hallie and I do while biking 100+ miles alone. ( I wish we could bike together or with other ppl- but our schedules are so weird and our speeds are so different depending on the day that we end up biking a majority if not all of it alone!)
So- things I do while biking- (or we)
first and probably the most common thing is creating songs...
this past saturday i started singing
"99 days till the ironman race, 99 days to train. One day down, training is done-98 days till the ironman race...." hahahah that kept me pretty busy for awhile
Hallie made the song "I will bike 112 miles, and I will run 26.2, just to be the ..... I can't remember the rest but it went to the tune of I will walk 500 miles..
If you are interested in all the songs we have created let me know- and i'll be glad to compile a list for you :-) otherwise i could be typing all day!!!
day dream
imagine finishing the ironman
read mailboxes and Hallie reads them aloud!
count the hours completed/left
count the miles completed/left
estimate race times
think of a shirt design
seek out places to stop for bathroom breaks/fuel
talk to yourself
cuss at cars that don't move!
plan ww mtg
make animal songs when passing them!
text (not something I recommand)
think
and obviously hallucinate!!
this is just things that were done on saturday - the list is never ending!! hahaha trust me you have plenty of time for all of this and more!!!
I plan on compiling infromation about race day for all you that plan to make the trip to Louisville. As far as times, location, and general information is to come!!
