Ironman Handbook

I recently received the 2009 CDA Ironman Athlete's guide (or whatever it is called). It's a 32 page document describing the race weekend, rules, schedule, etc. I read through it and probably will read through it several more times as I develop my plan for the race, but let me tell you...last night was the first read through and I ended up dreaming about the Ironman race ALL night! Ugh, can I really handle 2.5 more weeks of the suspense?!?!?!! Seriously! I'm totally excited, and I am practicing my positive thinking and visualizing (picturing me at the finish line with tears of joy/pride/astonishment/exhaustion running down my cheeks with my fist in the air saying "I did it!").

Slow and steady - my race motto. One step at a time. Continual forward progress (or whatever Seth says - I need to learn that quote).

I'm nervous and excited and am working on just being excited.

Hey Ironmen...any words of wisdom, advice, tips, things to know, etc??
