Well I am less than 3 days away from the event. At this point I am second guessing myself and my training. I put in significantly less volume than anyone I have talked to. I did however drastically increase my run volume the last 4 – 6 weeks. This did lead to shin splints. For weeks I have been on the border line of shin splints. I also iced them so much I got some small burns. I do believe that my longer than CFE prescribed taper should have let them heal enough. I am hopeful that the lack of a good taper was the downfall of my 70.3 and Olympic triathlon this summer. Also the run is supposed to be flat which should help a lot. On a very good note the weather forecast looks positive with the high in the low 80’s and lower humidity. Of course now I am just rambling.
Track me on Ironmanlive.com. My bib number is 1473.
Good luck, man.
