Let the Games Begin!

Well, this week (and today) marks the start of training with my new coach! I think I've said that I'm not quite to the "excited" point for the Ironman yet...but I am excited about starting a new program. How can a person be excited about being tortured? I'm not sure, but I am.
There is certainly no "easing in" period either. Steve has me hitting the ground running, which is really a good thing.
The race on Saturday, and the start of this new program has been a bit of an eye-opener for me. Though I do workout often and train fairly hard at times, I think I've been cutting myself too much slack in certain areas. So, that's all over now. I'm looking forward to the changes I'll see in my performance, and cannot wait to get a month or so under my belt. One thing is for certain - I have a lot to learn, and I'm very glad I started early on this journey to Coeur d'Alene!
