Quit will not be in my vocabulary..

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

I am going to print this and put it on my aero bars.

Thanks Big Daddy Diesel you continue to motivate me across the miles.

BIB # 339. It is all real now!

8 Days.

Headed out on a little bike ride up to a craft show... just to feel out how the bike feels after this week's little adjustments.. coming home and starting to make list upon list. Can't wait to see Mary tomorrow and ride with her for some Q and A :)

Its your time to be a rock star, I have a whole list of bibs to follow on race day. Some, like you, I will be following more in detail, since I have been following your journey for awhile.

Good luck Jess at IMLOU. One of my friends will also be doing his first IM at Louiville. He shared this quote with me at the beginning of the year.

"Push the Mind, and the Body will follow."

I look forward to tracking you on race day.

I also noticed that you will be racked next to another person I will be tracking. #338 Danielle Jolliff. She is from Cleveland area, her husband is also racing....first time for both.

Say hi and share the excitement with everyone.
