22 DAYS LEFT. am i ready? i can't possibly be ready. missed my 60 miler yesterday. that's definitely gonna set me back. went for my visa today. it will be ready with 4 DAYS TO SPARE!!! vaccinations will happen monday. hope i don't have any adverse reactions. shoulda gotten them earlier, but i've been broke. now all of a sudden work is dumping on me. not enough days to get everything done. NOT ENOUGH DAYS. NOT ENOUGH SLEEP. and even when there's plenty of sleep, i'm waking up in the middle of the night with anxiety that i'm forgetting something, forgetting an errand. bike case is secured. phew. i think my shoes are broken down. too late to break in new ones. that's definitely gonna set me back. still have 9 miles to knock out tonight. tomorrow is 80 miles with long, sustained hill climbs. sunday's brick is a 1 mile ocean swim followed by a 15 mile run. and to top it all off, today i'm

Wow!
Getting caught up on everyone's blogs. So glad you made it to Simko's wedding on time. I was on the edge of my seat there!
By the time you see this, it will be 20 days left. You did Wildflower this weekend??? I had a few buddies doing that race.
I am cheering for you from the Great State of TEXAS and when you finish Brazil you can cheer for me while I race in Switzerland!

Hey what's the panic? 4 days to Spare.....you are as ready as you can be today. You are going to finish. That's all you need to do for that Tattoo, right? Hungover? Ha, great, it means you relaxed. You can relax. Just really listen to that cool music you have on your still right adjusted blog. Sleep? Sleep will come. You need anything?....When I can't sleep I just ask myself why, if I can't find an answer I don't worry. If I do, I still dont worry. Okay I am rambling. You have trained. You have organised, 15 days is enough to break in shoes if they fit well. If you can't afford it borrow it. Out of interest what size are you? If you are UK 8 or european 42 I have a pair of addidas that are too small for me but have done some miles, not many but some. I could DHL them I suppose.
Okay I will shut up now. Monica you are ready, just keep going. You can come do Iron Man Nice next year and crash at my place :-)
