Only 1 week till Christmas. . . 2 weeks till the New Year. . . 46 weeks till Ironman. . . . .
I am almost ready for Christmas. I don't have to do anything to get ready for the New Year (except be mentally ready to start running . . . a lot. . . for the 1200mile club). . . and Ironman. . . well . . . I am glad there are still 46 weeks left!
Oh, I got some REALLY great news about Ironman this week. Since we decided to go down to Arizona for Christmas, Duane has put in a few calls to trainers, bike fitters, coaches, stores, all along our path from here to Utah, Arizona, and I don't know where else - maybe Mexico? Ha Ha! We have learned a few things:
1. Lots of people don't call or e-mail back.
2. The Gulf of Mexico Ocean is tame compared to California (the only ocean I have ever swam in)
3. Wetsuits are cheap in Tuscon Arizona
4. I have to take my bike to Arizona to get a true fit . . . . we aren't taking my bike to Arizona.
5. The best reply came from Lethbridge - ya, you heard me right. . . the most attentive and exciting phone call that we have had is from someone here in Southern Alberta. Bruce @ Fit Physiotherapy has a triathlon package where they fit my bike and do a gait analysis for my run and the best part is that I think we can get covered by our benefits under physiotherapy ( you are saying what?? I know - but truly!) Awesome news!
6. Now I am so excited to come back to Alberta after our Christmas Holiday - - - I really was trying to find some way to stay in the Arizona sun and heat, but now I am willing to come back so I can go for my appointment with Bruce and Erin and get my training plan too!
