I could try to make excuses for the last six weeks, but there's really no good excuse. Tired, busy, traveling, lazy, on the verge of sick, disinterested. None of those reasons justify that I've completely sucked the last 6 weeks.
There were a few high points here and there - a fast 10.5 mile run, another long ride on the course that included Chalk Hill - but only a few, and that's pretty ridiculous.
The half ironman is next weekend, and there's really nothing I can do about it now. I'll get a few runs and rides and swims in over the next week, but I'll be relying on the base of January through May training, without any fine tuning that I should have been doing over the last few weeks.
I'll finish, and I'm sure I'll be happy, and it's likely I'll want to do another, but it's not going to be fast and it's not going to be pretty.
But, I will have three of my favorite people there cheering me on - Kyle, my mom, and Tal. So I'll do my best to put on a good show.
