It feels really really sweet to be able to type the above title. After nearly 15 hrs 30min (15:27:31 officially) of continuous effort I finally crossed the finish line at Ironman Langkawi. A special thanks to everyone who ventured to Langkawi especially for your support. Seeing familiar faces and hearing familiar voices made all the different in the world. Thank You!

ROYAL RUMBLE
"Give me somewhere to stand, and I will move the earth." -- Archimedes
I feel excited and ready. I've waited so long for the final countdown. I'm actually relieved it's here. All this hard work and effort has created this magic hovering in the air during these last few days, waiting for me to bottle it up, channel it, and produce something truly incredible. Another 3 days to Go and it will be truly an amazing, surreal, magical day for me.
"The journey is the reward."--Chinese Proverb
"The gun goes off and everthing changes... the world changes... and nothing else really matters."--Patti Sue Plummer
“Mind is everything; muscle [mere] pieces of rubber.All that I am, I am because of my mind.”
--Paavo Nurmi
I've been doing a bit of meditating and visualization lately. Focusing on mantras and listening to my inner strength. Coming up with mantras. Going to keep these in my arsenal for the tough moments this Saturday. My goal is to stay positive throughout.
"Sometimes winning has nothing to do with being first across the finish line"--John Bingham
I have done everything I possibly can do for this race. Now, it's time for me to sit back and enjoy. All systems ready. We are a go. I'll see you on the other side!
"The woods are lovely dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep."--Robert Frost

Taper Time
Two of my favorite words "taper time."This is the best part of the training… TAPER we as runners, bikers, and swimmers never learn to rest, and it’s very important. I have been reading a lot and the way our muscles recover from extreme exercises is to allow them to properly rest/recover. It has been a long way to be in this moment now, 11 days away from my first Ironman, and I have to tell you that tapering has been a great part of my training. It doesn’t mean that you don’t exercise more, it means that instead of doing 2-3hrs of daily training and 10-12hrs of weekend training, you allow your body to do 1hr-2hrs of weekday training and perhaps 7hr-10hrs of weekend training. The closer the event February 23rd, the less you do.
