Tempe, Day Two

Once again I wake up hours before my alarm clock does. But it's ok. I'm thinking of how cold our 1,000 meter practice swim will be. Oh well, it's gotta be done. Me and Coach Evil ride our bikes to the venue and there we met our peeps. As I touch the water, it doesn't feel that bad. But when I jumped, man, a whole different story!! My lungs suddenly got really tired, my hands and feet became numb, and oh my God, I thought my face had fallen off!! So I took it easy as I acclimated, then having my feet numb was good because I just didn't feel a thing!! 
As I got out of the water I felt good, confident. I was second guessing what to wear, how to layer, what to discard at what transition. At the end of the day, I'll do what my peeps tell me to do: stick to the plan!
So there's no turning back now, in a couple of hours I'll be doing the hardest thing I've ever done in my life! 

So see you on the other side my peeps, I have an Ironman to attend!!
