Puppies are more fun than triathlons

We are 1 1/2 weeks away from our race. I hate the last two months leading up to an Ironman. The month of May was a monster. The month of June is when we started to taper for the race, so it should generally be fun. By this point, I am just sick of all of this and ready for it to be over. I am having much more fun playing with Stella. She is turning into a very good little dog, she has already learned to sit and shake hands and she is only 9 weeks old.

My motivation for doing much of anything is pretty low. Hopefully, I will get a spark in then next 10 days! Jason has been the one that is concerning me the most. He has had belly issues for the past month and has reduced his workouts in order to try and recover. We're not really sure what was wrong with him, but the good news is that he is slowly starting to feel better. I hope he feels 100% by race day. He has worked way too hard to go to a race not feeling good. He is the sole reason I signed up for this race and I would be really bummed if he didn't have the best race possible. He has been pretty frustrated and I can't blame him. Hopefully everything will fall into place for him! Send him good thoughts and prayers!

We leave on Friday for Spokane and are excited to see Jason's family! Hopefully I will be better at updating when I get more time.
