I can hardly believe it! It is FINALLY Race Week!!
I spent yesterday afternoon packing, watching football games, and checking in on my friends racing Ironman Arizona. By the end of the night, Karen Marinos, Susan Hardwick-Smith and Larry Feldman all became an Ironman for the first time. Congratulations!! :-D
Chad and I head to Cozumel on Wednesday morning, along with about 25 of our friends who are either racing or Sherpa-ing. My parents arrive Friday.
Race morning I will be up by 3:30am, so the night before will be equally early. Data rates are astronomical and I will have limited text and phone access. BUT! I will be able to check email and Facebook in the days leading up to the race!
How to Watch on Race Day
Ironman Live - The official Ironman results page. Don't be alarmed if you don't see times posting on a regular basis. Sometimes the website is slow to update on race day.
MyAthlete Live Trackers - Live GPS tracking. This app will show you where I am along my 140.6 mile journey. After I get out of the swim, I will wear a GPS device on my hip. Along with locations, you can see my approximate paces in real time! Don't worry if my dot isn't moving. I may be stopped to refill a bottle, use the potty, or fix a flat. Use the links below.
