Wed. August 22-Eleven Mile Run on creek path north to E-470 and back. 6:55PM to 8:52PM. Well I did it! This was my test run to see if I have a half-iron triathlon in me. I think I do! The Havest Moon Half-Iron is coming up on Sept. 16th. It is a 1.2 mile mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.2 mile run. Which is double the distance on the bike and run of the Rattlesnake, but only .2 miles more on the swim (1/5th more).
I'd like some input from my blogging pals on whether you guys think I am ready or not.
Thanks to my blogging pals. I think I have trained harder than I ever have before this summer because of the moral support and accountability that you guys provide.

Hez, I have been watching your training on the Blog and I think that you can do it for sure. Your swim trainign has been great and the bike basically goes without saying with all of the training you and Mom have done. I think that you can do the 1/2 marathon run espeacially if you walk the water stations (for the Galloway type method and to be sure you get enough fluid at the station) and if you fule up on the bike, at the end of the bike (don't worry about speed at that transition), and at the 5 and 8 mile marks on the run with goo. I believe in you Hez!!!!
Go for it!
