what to do...
Should I register for Ironstar or not? Should I punish myself for 6+ hours or not? I can't decide! I told myself I would decide by today... based on how today's bike ride went. Well, I rode 62 miles in 2:58 with the Pearland Race Team for an average of almost 21mph. However, this is DRAFTING pretty much the entire time except for the last 12 miles where I said F-them and rode on my own cuz I was exhausted and the Cardiovascular system wasn't having it anymore. I don't know... I looked at my training logs from July 2006, right before my last 1/2 Ironman, and it looks like I am training harder right now than I did then, but I am also about 8 pounds heavier than I was then. And no, it is not all muscle. Trust me! So that will increase the pain factor on race day. I will decide by the end of the day. I'm leaning toward doing it.... however it will cost 175 bucks. Hmmm.

Tough decision...I decided not to do it because I haven't been on my bike or in the pool since the beginning of August. Sad. I ran a marathon 2 weeks ago and today almost died in a 5k...so no Ironstar is probably a good idea for me. You, however, are biking awesome and if you have that down you can "fake" the rest. Ironstar really is a pretty course!
