Doctor tested, father approved

So this is a totally, 100% random update, but i figured id put some thoughts down before this weekend.  In about 36 hours, I will be running on the beach and plunging into the cold waters of the North Carolina inlet Waterway.  Why you may ask? Well, i guess I'm going to try to finish the Beach2Battleship half-iron race this Saturday. 

It may sound as if I'm being callous about this race, and I am.  I am approaching this race as more or less a pure test of testosterone.  I am not going to race, I am going to finish.  I haven’t legitimately “trained” in just about a month.  A little over a month ago, I started having some funny heart issues.  They have sense been cleared up (as of earlier this morning), and i am good to go.  I am no longer RACING, but just want to pride my way safely across the finish line.  I feel grossly unprepared for this race, both in preparation and in simple knowledge base of how these bigger races are run.  I’ma just hope that i get all of my transition bags packed correctly, and hopefully this time Saturday night, I'll be putting a 70.3 sticker on the back of my jeep.

If i don’t update this, well, I either died, or have once again become content to simply read DC Rainmaker's Blog and train as possible

Today I leave you with the damage done to my kitchen by my roommates dog….FAIL?

Good luck! Are you going to fill us in on the heart problems? That is scary.
Also scary is the damage that pup did to your kitchen. Yikes! :)

Good luck this weekend - and remember, if it (heart) feels whacky - then take it easy. If anything else hurts...HTFU. ;)

As for reading my blog, I've gotta figure out what to post...perhaps nothing until tomorrow around 5PM...
