Everyday a bus picks us up at the hotel at 7. I have to walk (limp) there from my tent. Everyone looks around and sees who is missing today. So far I have managed to keep my seat filled. It gets harder everyday. The swimming 3.8 kms and doing a marathon everyday I can content with. The biking is the hardest. My ass is so messed up. I actually rubbed orajel on it today to see if I could numb it. No such luck. There is no spot on the sets that is comfortable.
It was a stinking hot day then just before the bike was finished it poured yet another day. Plenty of lightening but no hail today.
My legs felt like cement today and it was so hard to push the pedals. I keep saying circle circle circle. That gets tiring after 7 hours.
Time to go to bed, it's 11:30 and I just got done day six.
I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be hard.
Thanks for all the comments. I really look forward to checking them.

Hi Tony. WOW 6 down. You are over the hump. Enjoying your blog and the videos. Hey say something in italian. Keep focused. Your OCD enthusiasm will carry you thru. Show them how tough the canucks are. Load up on some tylenol and just keep trucking!

Hey Tony
ReplyDeleteBefore you left I thought you were a little crazy with all the training, but now I know you are!!! Good thing you did all that training - I know it will carry you to the end!
Still praying for your safety and health. I promise when you get home I won't push the ride past 35K/hr :)
cheers from Chatham!

6 down! More than half way!!! You are amazing and can totally do this!
ReplyDeletewow! i am amazed at how you are doing. Just keep doing your best, no one can ask for more.
ReplyDeleteHey Tony....keep chugging away...you're over the hump now and riding that bike downhill the rest of the way...obviously standing though. When you get home, we will have to sit down...at least I will, and hopefully we can come with an idea for a more comfortable bike seat...maybe prelubricated or such and we will make millions from all the OCD's in the world. We are so confident in you that Amy and I have already prearranged and paid for your next challenge in Japan....15 IRONMANS in 15 Days...Kamikaze style.
ReplyDeleteHey Tony, keep going you crazy bugger. Amy and Dan are keeping me up to date. Take care.
