So I am very relieved that I now have a coach to get me to IMKY. A real, live being. Someone who is going to tell me exactly what I should do. This takes away ALOT of anxiety. I warned Dominic - for the next 7 weeks it's going to be "Jen, said to do this, Jen said to do that....".
Jennifer Harrison, that is. Yep. I am that lucky.
And she's kicking my ass.
I still can't believe I am going to attempt an Ironman. I seriously don't know how this happened or why I am doing this. I am scared shitless about it, to be honest.
Oh, and when I met Tom for a long ride yesterday, he told me I look "beefy".

Glad to hear you got a coach!
Mine is keeping me from overdoing things too much, which I have the tendency to do if left on my own. BTW, does your friend Amanda have a blog? I recall that she did Great Floridian last year and it's one of two iron tris I'm doing this year.
Tom has probably been hired by the opposition to screw with your mind.
Anyone going against you would be looking for that sort of edge.
As punishment he should have to pay for post race celebrations.
Yeah, like you weren't going to kick a$$ before, so now you get a coach with serious credentials. Beefy? Nay - you're a can of IM Whoop-ass just waiting to be opened! :D
You go girl!
Just do the training and you'll be fine. Believe me. Let me know if I can help.
...jeezus, tom...are you fucking 'clue nada' when it comes to not only dealing w/ chicks but seriously athletic chicks in particular ???...
...how about something along the lines of, "so, you're looking pretty strong right now, judi...you gonna taper on the strength training & work more on your endurance training w/ the race coming up ???...hey, you'll prob'ly even get faster now that you've got a good coach"...
...i mean, dude, i just don't want ya to end up getting a 15lb free weight in the back a' the head some night...consider i'm actually on, you know, your side, the guys side...
...we all gotta survive...sheesh...
...just sayin'...
I've now tried both and prefer having a coach over self-coaching, especially when the coach knows you well. Sounds like you feel comfortable with Jennifer and trust her. That's important. Dom will get jealous soon enough. Your relationship with your coach can be quite personal. I hope Jen can handle a few swear words. LOL
Tom is a retard. Every time i see him, he makes a new comment about my ass. That is not why we do this!!! to look one way or another! It's because we love this stuff!
So happy for you and the new coach! IMKY here we come!
Jen is awesome!! She will help you get to IMKY in the best shape possible! great job in your last race!!

Judi - I love working with a coach! As you mentioned, it takes away SO much stress and anxiety. I've worked with mine for 3 years now and I've never regretted a cent spent on him.
You are on the home stretch now! A few more tough weeks and then the taper - woo hoo!
all men are pigs. I should know.
You are going to KICK ASS! Plus you are SO LUCKY to have Jen as your coach. Just keep up the positive thoughts and rock out the final stretch of your training. You are a total inspiration :)
That is fantastic that you have a coach! I have a good feeling that you are in for a great race. Wow...7 weeks... Good luck!!!
Good luck, I get you will do great. I am in the second week of marathon training so I can relate to the nervous feeling.
beefy?? Wtf does that even mean?? You look hard core and RIPPED.
p.s. oh awesome on the coach, too! Brilliant!
