Brief Training Update and Lead-up to IMoo

Hi, everyone! Not a whole lot to update. I've been tapering my training for IMoo since last week and don't have much to say. Most of the taper work has been easy runs, easy rides, and easy swims. Lately, I've quit running entirely after I strained my left calf muscle Tuesday morning on an easy jog. I figure if I'm not ready to run now, no amount of taper training is gonna fix that and it's better to avoid injury. So, for the past few days, I've been doing mostly 25-mile bike rides at an easy pace of 20 mph or so. Low to mid effort, trying to stay aerobic.

Oh . . . to anyone interested, my bib number for the race is 982. Steve's is 967.

It's now 9 days until race day. I plan to leave for Wisconsin this Sunday and stay over a few days in St. Louis with Mason. I plan to arrive in Madison on Thursday and just soak up the atmosphere for a while.

For those of you (family and friends) going to Madison to spectate, I can't wait to see you! It should be a fun week and a long, hard day on Sunday! Pray for cool weather!
