I will swim 2.4 miles in the ocean, ride 112 miles and then complete a full 26.2 mile marathon. I am using this opportunity to raise money for research to find a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease).Tim Scearcehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18298061998491679008noreply@blogger.comBlogger104125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111634851497632979.post-89980814637226397412009-10-12T02:18:00.000-07:002009-10-12T09:47:50.427-07:00An Ironman!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivTdR9w_P2_QkYaUOBqCkDhPXbP6iC4e_HuOB8DSmX_c8z5iOLbShtt_4sue0u1aVz4KOZsyKEU5h9RhqtjXLRrFS5Knr_j3AakPZPXdE9VBhBIme9SwzbpTH5wXRzcbEYuPaEwwqo4ik/s1600-h/Ironman+Oct+10+2009+013+web.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391756108915533490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivTdR9w_P2_QkYaUOBqCkDhPXbP6iC4e_HuOB8DSmX_c8z5iOLbShtt_4sue0u1aVz4KOZsyKEU5h9RhqtjXLRrFS5Knr_j3AakPZPXdE9VBhBIme9SwzbpTH5wXRzcbEYuPaEwwqo4ik/s400/Ironman+Oct+10+2009+013+web.jpg" border="0" /></a>
<div>After 14 hours, 41 minutes in the heat and wind of western Hawaii, I finally crossed the finish line. The swim went well, and I felt pretty good about my time. The bike segment was going OK until I ran into the headwinds while heading north to the turn around at Hawi. They then shifted (as they often do) to become headwinds as I returned south! The umbrella my sister was using to protect her one-year old from the sun was actually inverted by a gust. Not suprisingly, my bike time was longer than I had hoped at 7 hours, 11 minutes. After that long ride, I headed out in the afternoon heat to start the marathon, which took 5 hours and 46 minutes. Half of it was run in near total darkness as there are no street lights as soon as you leave Kona. Thankfully, I had a lovely note and a picture of our sweet Forrest waiting for me in a special run needs bag at about mile 16. In that bag, I also had my father's tie. A tie I have worn or had present at most major events of my adult life. I carried that tie the last 10.2 miles and held it high as I crossed the finish line at 14 hours, 41 minutes and 1 second. In a field of top 5% finishers in qualifying Ironman races (plus 149 other lottery winners), I placed 162 out of 192 in my age division and 1501 out of 1853 overall. More importantly, I learned something about my inner resolve I did not know before, met some inspiring and encouraging people and raised over $4300 to help cure ALS. All of this has made every hour of training and every mile of distance covered worth it.
Now, I think I will take a nap...</div>Tim Scearcehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18298061998491679008noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111634851497632979.post-5345653301605177312009-10-10T07:22:00.000-07:002009-10-10T07:23:46.900-07:00Race DayLaurie and Forrest, Terry, Mary, Dorothy, Aud, Peter, Margaret and Paul

You are led by a volunteer through a path lined by people taking note of all the gear on your bike. The volunteer assigned to me was a cheerful italian girl who is working in Honolulu. Like 5000 people, she volunteered to be a part of this special event. After learning where the showers (garden hoses coming down from the roof of a tent) and changing tents are located, I placed my bags on a numbered hook and was led out. I called Randy Collee this morning and got some very helpful advice about nutrition before and during the ride, and some practical advice about how to handle the difficult moments during the run when it feels like too much (make something in your head, from the barest essential ingredients). He was, as always, incredibly reassuring and helpful. I also called Al Truscott and got some very helpful tips. He was at the pre race banquet and meeting too and was a huge help. I had an early dinner of pasta and chicken and plan to be in bed and trying to sleep by 9PM. I feel a little calmer today but really felt the enormity of what I am taking on as I drove back to the hotel along the seemingly endless Queen K highway. John and Nancy and Trisha, John and Liam are here. To have family here means so much to me.

I am down on the aero bars riding along the famous Queen K Highway in preparation for the 31st running of the World Ironman Championship. This us surreal. Imaging getting to practice hitting and running the bases at Yankee stadium, or to drive the Indy 500 course. I chose this part because it is representative of the infamous winds that can blow up to 60 MPH, usually in your face on the way out to the turnaround at Hawi and then back again on the return. In addition, there are long rolling hills that are deceptive due to the stark lava fields. I still really can't believe I am here! I went for a .9 mile swim in Kailua Bay this morning, just out to the floating esspresso stand at the 700 meter makr (complete with underwater sign and I am not making this up). We went to the pre-race banquet (carbo loading fest) with a great traditional Hawaiian show and lots of inspirational video clips and pep talks. The temperature has been in the mid 80's. The wind on the ride makes this bearable. The run will be harder, but this will occur later in the day.
My race number is 631. Anyonw who logs onto Ironman.com can follow my progress live throughout the day on Saturday.
I am also # 6 in fundraising through the Janus Charity Challange. If I can get to # 5 I will be one of the top finishers who gets a $1000 matching gift from Janus to go to curing ALS. Any readers are encouraged to visit the fundraising link at the top left of this page.

One of our great medical assistants Kim Nichols put together a lovely card signed by the gang at work to wish me well. That meant so much to me. I'll be taking it to Hawaii. I woke up early this morning and decided to get a quick run in before the long plane flight. I think that will help calm some of my pre-race jitters, at least for today!

Only then, I didn't know I would win a lottery slot to race in Kona. I just wanted to loss some of that winter weight. Today, I rode in the last organized ride of the season, the Kitsap Color Classic. A lovely fall color ride through the Kitsap penninsula. I chose the 36 mile Port Gamble-Pouslbo loop as my tapering program only called for a two hour ride today. The strong headwinds from the north and the 2000 feet of climbing made for a serious workout. The trees in Port Gamble were in full fall regalia and Poulsbo is as charming as ever. How I managed to peda; past those bakeries, I'll never know!

It was a little cool this evening so I had him wear the lovely socks Dottie knit for him and his cloud blanket while we ran around the neighborhood with Murphy. I had to get a picture of him in front of the bike. Then I went downstairs to the basement to ride for an hour while I watched Blade Runner.

I looked for an epic length movie to rent to keep my attention. I settled on Australia. I must say, were it not for the screen presence of the aboriginal child actor Brandon Walters at the center of the story, this would have been one of my more painful training rides...

Fall is definately on the way! Murphy joined me this morning and we ran our usual double loop through the neighborhood and the arboretum. I really enjoy running along the winding service road near the Broadmoor golf course. In the early morning light, it feels like a New England country lane.

I felt stronger on the bike, maybe the result of Sunday's long ride? I found a great Irish reel through the music shuffle on my Crackberry. I kept playing it over and over again on the way around Seward Park and back home. Then Murphy the Irish Setter joined me for the run. Saints and Begorrah, I feel like I'm back in the Old Country!

This time, John and his wife Nancy came along with Laurie and Forrest in the support boat. I managed to finish the swim in just over an hour, about 30 minutes faster than Monday! I got an earlier start due to better planning. It was nice to finish in the daylight this time. I hope to do this once more before the race.

I have wanted to try this swim for some time. I thought it would be good practice to see what it feels like to swim in wind waves and swells. It really does take more effort but the feeling of looking up a the open sky and the rolling of the waves is worth it. John drove Ken's ski boat while Laurie and Forrest watched. It was a great treat to see them off to my side when I took a breath!

As luck would have it, the Chuckanut Century ride out of Bellingham was today as well. This is, easily, the most scenic organized ride I have ever been on in Washington state. The views along Chuckanut drive are just amazing. As I was riding through the farmland south of Edison, an adolescent Bald Eagle (still all brown) crossed in front of me and started flying low over the farmland, not 10 feet of the ground. He was likely searching for rodents. We traveled along together for about a mile as I looking over from my position on the aero bars marveling at the grace and effortless power of this magnificent animal. It is a memory I will cherish forever.

I ran from home to Green Lake, around twice and home again. I managed to find a 3 hour window without rain. That was a relief.

Brother John got in the water a little ahead of me and we finished at about the same time. John's wife Nancy motored nearby in Ken's ski boat for support. The swim felt good and went by quite quickly. I had hoped it would be more like 2 or more miles but I was out of the water in an hour, so I am pretty sure this tells me I could be out of the water in Kona within 2 hours, 20 minutes. ***22 Days to Kona!***

Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." Helen Keller
I found this quote on an Ironman Facebook page. It really nails it for me. Another inspiring message was a bumper sticker I saw in the early weeks of my training back in April. It read, "Don't Die Wondering"
Today's workout called for a 1 hour ride and a 30 minute run. I really kicked it in riding back from Seward Park, a maintained a 24 MPH pace for a few miles on the aero bars. Prolly a warmup pace for a lot of triathletes, but prety speedy for me :-) Murphy, our Irish Setter decided to join me for the run. That was a real treat!

I managed to get a one hour bike ride to Seward Park in before the heavy rains started, then to Medgar Evers pool for a 2 mile lap swim. This is the kind of days I should be having until just a few days before the race. ***24 Days to Kona!***

The first couple hundred yards were tough, on account of the last two days, but I kicked into my regular pace soon enough. Laurie brought Forrest and the dogs over so the dogs got a nice run at the dog park. *** 26 days to Kona!*** <a href="http://www.mapmytri.com/view_workout?w=909125298996576464&txtStatusMessage=Your+Workout+Entry+for+09%2F14%2F2009+has+been+saved+successfully%21">MapMyTri.com - Regular Run: 1 Hour Run on 09/14/2009</a>

My training schedule for today actually calls for a 1 hour ride after my 2 1/2 hour run. We decided to ride the Centennial Trail in Lake Stevens. Forrest and I rode 5 miles down to a play structure that looks like a train. Of course, we had to stop. Laurie continued on for another 10 miles for a total ride of 20 miles. Yeay Laurie!
Totals for this week: Hours: 13.65, Calories: 12,600, Miles: 132.63
27 Days to Kona!

I ran my usual home to Green Lake run but looped a third of the way around again and came back down through Wallingford. I happened to follow the course of the Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk. What an inspiration to see all those women (and a few men, in pink hair and grass skirts no less!) out there working out for a cause they feel passionately about.
