Well I have 85% of my gear bags packed. Need a couple of odds & ends before drop off and I'm good. I don't know if I will post before the race in any detail, perhaps a few anecdotes from the blogger party and a "I'm off!" message and thats it.
Before I begin to tunnel vision into a singular purpose I want to express with the strongest terms possible the energy, excitement, comradeship, filial love and happiness that I get from all of you. Thousands will do an Ironman this year without good training weather, without training partners, without a blog, without family acceptance and they are all stronger men and women than me. It is not a sign of weakness to admit that in this respect of my life, I need fellowship and feel that I get it in multiplicity in this sport.
So thank you for investing in me this last year. The rides been a good one I hope. Now if you'll pardon the absence of thought and introspection for the next few days...I'll see you on the other side. I have an Ironman to finish.

Best of luck Comm! Tear it up!
I feel like I've come to know you better these past months and can say, with confidence, that you will do wonderfully out there this weekend. There is something very powerful about peace, and I think you've reached that point. Take advantage of all of your strengths out there and you will succeed.
Good luck!
Go Comm go!
It gives even me butterflies to see your countdown timer at 1 day 22 hours!
