I was wondering what you were doing to keep out of trouble these days... Amazing to think of actually subjecting myself to such an endeavor - especially after my recent experiences riding my bike to work (we are no longer on speaking terms). Let's go for a ride one of these days. I'll bring a bungee to attach from my handlebars to your back wheel. Well Done! I was wondering what you were doing to keep out of trouble these days…

I've never felt anything like that before. I was reading an article before the race where Desire Ficker (killer triathlete) talked about how when she starts the run in an Ironman that she wants to take a nap. Well, she was right on in that description. It was really intense, like just wanting to give in and be done. Crazy. Thanks Allan! I’ve never felt anything like that before.

Good job!!! Very inspiring! I've never heard of people wanting to sleep during a run though unless they were sleepy before the run itself. Does the urge to sleep kick in for you when running often?

That is an awesome achievement. They only get easier! One trick is to unwrap a power bar and stick it to the top tube of your bike, then embed a row of Advil. Whenever your legs feel heavy, munch a couple. By the time the run comes along, you're fresh and ready to knock off 7 minute miles. Don't worry about the maximum dosage warnings on the label, that's just legal mumbo jumbo. :) Congrats dude! That is an awesome achievement. They only get easier!

You can do it! You're already on your way. And it turns out tequila is a great taper drink. Gets the body ready for the race. Thanks Sonny! Ha! You can do it! You’re already on your way.

Congrats...and you pretty much eliminated an illusions I ever had that this was something to aspire to. :) Just in awe…especially after a week of copious tequila.
