Q1. What's in that head of yours?

AAAAAAAAHHHH !!!
I can't believe I've committed to an Ironman !!
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH !!!


Q2. Are we following a training plan?

Training plan, I'm supposed to have a training plan? Kidding aside, no, not yet. Real training starts when I get my program from Dirk, which should be soon, the thought of which scares the heebie-jeebies out of me. Everything I've done so far since I committed in November is absolutely fake training, including the last marathon.
