Saturday is going to be a great day. I'm going to get my morning swim workout done, I think my coach may have lost it he posted 5 swim workouts for me this week at a pace which I'm pretty sure I will drown if I try to hold.
Then I'm settling into the couch with a beer and bag of unhealthy salty snacks and watching this years Ironman World Championship coverage. I love it.
No better motivator to get you fired up. It was just three short years ago that I watched the coverage and decided that day that I would do an Ironman. At the time I was 30 lbs heavier, eating crappy food and too much of it, and couldn't run 3 miles without walking. Oh how the mighty can fall only to rise again from the ashes.
The coverage starts at 2:30pm Eastern Standard Time on NBC. I'm not sure what time it's showing in the other time zones so check your local listings as they say. If you want to wet your whistle a bit you can check out the trailer on YouTube on the Ironman Channel.
