18 days to go--Lion in the winter

Still cranking out some good workouts and being pleasantly surprised. Today my 100s were all in 1:19-1:22 range which is pretty good for me! On Monday I rode a strong 126 miles and did an immediate 3 mile transition run and ran very, very well--extremely encouraging.

At mile 85 I hit a local store for a snickers bar and a mountain dew. As i was refueling a young mom and 2 kids wandered by and the mom asked me how far I was riding today. i told her 125 and that I'd already done 85 (it was about 11 am). She was dumbfounded. she asked if I raced and i said yes--I do Ironman races. she replied: "oh my god your muscles must be rock hard"....I smiled....the Lion in the winter...yeah baby
