40 days down, 100 days till the Ironman

Hit the century mark today! 100 days to go. And it's going to be a brutal 100 days. Still so early, yet the training is really killer. I had a day off Wednesday, and my next one won't come till next monday. Yep, 9 straight days. 2 are down, so that leaves 7 more...that'll be a glorious day of nothing.
Today I accomplished another personal high. I swam 3500 yards in 1:06. My previous high was 3000 yards. I did it fairly easy, as easy as that distance can be. The main set was 2x1500. Basically getting some training in easy, long distance swimming. Good god is it boring! I'm hoping race day will be a bit more exciting, plus I won't be in all that much of a hurry considering my prize for getting done is a 112 mile bike ride through the desert. Maybe my swim will take longer than I except!
Feeling good, but quite tired these days. Tomorrow I have a brick, 3 hour bike ride followed by a 30 minute easy run. Course, nothing will be easy bout that run. Tune in tomorrow to see how that goes.
