Preparing for Ironman Melbourne

So I have gone through the "psycho-babble" challenging myself and the mental game that is played, done the hard work physically and am now recovering, doing a Melissa Hauschildt bike polish and re-counting carbs to consume on race day!  

Here is the run down :
Gear:  Scody performance wear, Rudy Project Noyz Sunglasses, Garmin 910 watch
Swim:  Nineteen Rogue Wetsuit
Bike:  Specialized Shiv TT, SRAM Red, Zipp Firecrest Disc rear and 404 front tubulars (120-125psi), Ruby Saddle, SRM Power meter, Garmin Edge 810 Computer
Nutrition total:  1 Roctane fuelselage with carbohydrate powder, 1 electrolyte GU Brew, 5 gels (6th for the just in case), 2 packages chomps, 2 Oaty Slice bars. 

So how you can track me on race day: 

Ironman Live

You can follow me on a live twitter feed (@trainingpeaks) as they will be tracking my SRM powerdata.  This means you can see how much power (energy) I am putting out throughout the 180km bike course.  They will also be feeding this information to Ironman (@IMAsiaPacific).  At the end they will take my Garmin Edge 810 and also uploading all the additional information into Training Peaks.  HOW COOL IS THAT! 
Timothy Carlson also wrote a piece on Slowtwitch that made me smile.  I am paraphrasing.... Remember at the end of it all never count out the fearless Canadian who just doesn't ever take the easy road but goes smack dab right into the thick of it!   The video says it another way...

The back and forth of it, the push and pull, the adding on, the subtracting, the tweaking, the shadow and light, the line, the curve, the relentless pursuit of it.
