61 days left until Ironman

Training is really starting to just move along smoothly. As hard and long as the sessions are becoming, they're becoming easier and easier to do. Today I did a 3 hour workout which consisted of a 2 hour ride followed by a 1 hour run. The rides are getting so much better. I'm amazed at the difference in comfort level by switching shorts and getting my seat set up slightly different. I'm not experience any more major pain. The run was about as easy as you could expect a 1 hour run to be, especially following a 35 mile bike ride. Legs felt good and fresh. Almost as if I was the first workout of the day. Today was also one of the more miserable weather rides I've had so far. It wasn't terribly cold, but it did rain on me for the first hour of the bike. The roads were also wet, so it took about 10 minutes for my socks to become completely saturated and cold. It didn't stop me, or even slow me down. I just kept moving along and it didn't bother me in the least. I was SOOOO thankful to myself for remembering to bring a new pair of socks for the run. The run would've been pretty miserable had I not thought about that. So far in training I've dealt with heat, extreme humidity, rain, and cold. Nothing's stopped...thought the extreme humidity was by far, the most difficult for me to deal with. I was slow and miserable throughout the entire ordeal...but at least of all the weather elements, that is one that I know I won't have to worry about in Arizona. Maybe heat, cold, even rain, but humidity is the only one that will stop me
