Today marks 9 days till Ironman Louisville. It also marks the first day that the weather is forecasted (10 day forecast that is). It's becoming more real every day – which is causing me increasing anxiety – which is making me grumpier. I can tell you that my wife will be happy when this is over.
As of today, the forecast for Ironman Louisville is a high of 90 degrees with some chance of rain. After the recent heat wave, 90 degrees seems almost winter like. Of course this far out, that can change quickly. But the heat is what I'm most worried about – to me, short of a crash, it's the only thing that could keep me from completing the event. I think most of the anxiety comes from the knowledge that I don't know what I'm about to encounter. The unknown is always a bit scary and despite logically knowing I should be able to at least waddle through this – I'm still apprehensive about what the day will bring.
Know that my training is winding down – I'm ready to get this over with.
