impure thoughts

[whyiron]

It's six weeks to my first Ironman. On one hand, that's freaking me out because it's only six weeks. On the other, it's freaking me out because it's still six weeks!

I'm having impure thoughts about the remaining work to be done. It seems less like training and more like verifying that I've done the training. It seems too late to bank more fitness

Patience my friend, success comes to those who train, not to those that rush! See you in Galveston if not before!

Patience isn't really my cup of tea either sir :)
Hang in there. I can't wait to hear all about the camp, I'm jealous that I'm not there with you and all my buds.
Enjoy!

Forgive my as of yet green tongue for speaking, but it seems to me that you should be entitled to a few impure thoughts every now and again. I know of your training mostly through your chronicling of it here on LJ, and IMO your pretty much a rockstar. You've got uncommon diligence, consistency, and commitment. Yep, rockstar. Keep at it, your reward is just around the corner.

Don't worry

almost everyone is nervous about now. You're about to do the hardest training you've ever done. And then the rest and the waiting...

I have no doubt that you'll perform well at IMAZ, and I am glad to know that others get anxious before big (new) races. I'll be awaiting your race report. Have fun at camp, too!
