Pat Bobier ordered an E wide mans shoes by mistake. She have them to me, they do look unportional but suit my feet just fine now. Yes, my feet are jacked up, sort of expected it but not so soon.
Found out that one of the few helpers was hit by a car yesterday directing traffic. Today's bike course was changed to minimize accident. We are doing a 1 k loop with two bigs hills in it. This is repeated 90 times. Somebody said its 5000 feet of climbing. Everyone's bike time went up an extra hour because of this. I'm tired of going with the flow this was not in the program I signed up for. 7 people have already dropped out, the one guy has a broken leg from Monday and he still swam, biked and finished the marathon last night. He dragged him and his leg for the whole 42kms.
I have made friends with a fellow Brit, we run well together and have formed an alliance or friendship. Super nice guy, his name is Steve Harvey.
There is a stark difference from my last race in Italy. Food was plemtiful and delicious. Most of us are complaining about being starved to death. In the morning they give you a small ass coffee and a croissant. It's barely unsought to feed a bird. We are on the course at 7:30 til 12:30, lunch is basically a Miccellinas frozen dinner. It's small and taste like crap. It almost feels like we are being used as some experiment to see how far you can push the human body and mind after depriving it of everything that you were told to expect.
It's 1:19 and I'm literally exhausted. I think that this is going to turn nasty.

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.” – Bruce Lee
ReplyDeleteTony, this is fucking insanity. 30 in 30 is tough...doing it while your personal safety is jeopardized is retarded. We want you back in one piece. Remember that, buddy.
ReplyDeleteWow! I actually agree with Jim! LOL! Did I really write that??
ReplyDeleteThink Tony think!
Be smart. Be safe!
