"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Never, Never, Never Quit.

FIGHT....................FINISH

Countdown to B2B

Still Hot!!

OK, so maybe the appearance of love bugs hasn't quite meant cooler weather yet. We've been setting records for heat the last week, heard on the news last night it was the hottest 1st week of October on record. Usually when it's this hot at least we can count on calm weather but the wind has really picked up lately also, which has made for some tough rides.

Still keeping the biking miles at about 150/week and continuing with 2 runs per week but I'm really losing running fitness. Ran 5 miles twice last week and struggled with each of them. My knee seems to be doing a little better with only a couple runs but still doesn't seem to be getter healed.

2 more weeks until the Longleaf Olympic distance. Right now I only have 2 goals for it.....PR the bike and finish. Looks like we might get the first cold(cool?) front of the fall this weekend so that should help.

The NC Ironman race has finally posted a website. Not much yet available but it should be filling in the coming weeks/months. www.beach2battleship.com
