December 31.

The first two months of training are done
and although my fitness is fine,
My efforts will have to improve so much more
as we head into 2009.

When the clock turns to 12 I will toast the New Year
and wish for you all the best,
While I will be so excited for me
as I face my ultimate test.

Thanks in advance for your love and support
please know that the strength that I gain,
from knowing I have great family and friends
helps me fight through the sweat and the pain.

2010 will be very special
for me and I hope for you too,
I can't wait to see you all in the fall
 and show you my Ironman tatoo!

Description - Swim 1500 meters.  I'm not supposed to swim today but the Y is closed tomorrow.
Used my new swim watch which tells me I swam 1500 meters or 30 laps in 33.49 using 1818 strokes and buring 320 calories.  I think I can do it faster and it's nice to have a time to shoot for.  I think working on breaking time/distance records will be fun and help make me faster.

Nutrition - Powergel and water before.

Song of the day - Miss you by the Stones.
