The final week leading up to Ironman Florida most of my workouts were fairly easy and I was able to complete most of them with no problems. My neck was pretty stiff- from turning it so much on one of my bike rides, I think. I have also been told I wear my stress in my shoulders and neck. I had a nice massage to try and relieve some of the tension and it seemed to help.
I began packing for the trip on 2pm the day before our morning flight. Matt worked on his electronics until we met up with his mom to drop Henry off. We got back to the house around 10:30pm and continued packing until 2am. Let me rephrase that- Matt hadn't packed anything and was rushing around asking me what he needed to pack until 2am. He gingerly admitted he should have started packing when I did so it wouldn't be this stressful! With only a few hours of sleep we boarded our flight and headed to Panama City Beach, Florida!
We arrived in PCB and had Mellow Mushroom pizza- our favorite pizza joint- with my sister, her fiance, Matt, my mom, and my sister's future in-laws. We had a blast sharing stories and talking about the upcoming race. After Matt and I checked in the next day the anticipation got REAL! Everybody became stressed and some started getting terse with their answers, but we all knew it was just from obsessing over the weather and how it kept changing.
