7 Days to Go!

Posted by mkellym on June 30, 2008

Well there are seven days to go before the LONGEST DAY OF MY LIFE.

 

I haven’t been good lately at posting but to be honest I have struggled with my motivation since coming home from Lanza.  I have had some good weeks, and some bad.  I have done my long run and my long cycle and feel that I have it in me to finish next week.

 

Today I did a 75k cycle with the guys in 2 and half hours.  I was feeling nervous heading out, because I haven’t done anything other than work for the last two weeks.  But I felt great on the bike.  Once we finished our cycle though Boycey told us that he was heading for Wicklow gap before heading home!!  Good luck to him.

 

At this stage I still don’t feel nervous I am looking forward to it.  Maybe things will change over the next seven days.  But I have done the work and I want to do the race now.

 

Best of luck to the guys doing the race especially, John the Three Dereks! Rodney Eoin and Oran.  I hope that on Sunday night we will all be sitting as Ironmen in the finishing tent drinking beers.
