You got yours? I wish I could say I have mine. Rocketship underpants would be *awesome*. Or even cooler - lucky rocketship cycling shorts! Heck, I'd love a lucky rocketship running hat - that'd be cool. If you can find me either one of those, I'd pay large for it.
So, where does the phrase ' lucky rocketship underpants' come from? It's pretty easy, I'm sure someone will post the answer in the comments section.
Taper has gone well. Since the last update I rode for 2 hrs on Sun, swam 1.7k on Monday and went for a 7.5k run today. It was really difficult keeping my effort in check today - the legs were just begging to go. Tomorrow I'll ride for an hour, pack and other than that just concentrate on staying off my feet. Thursday is up bright and early and is travel day.
It's still early, but the weather is looking..umm.. perfect? Cloudy with a high in the 70's. Dare I hope?
Not sure if I'll get to update between now and post race, if not on Sunday goto Ironmanlive
type in my race number (1006), check my progress and send a positive vibe or two. I know at some point I'll need them!
Don't forget to post a finishing time mentioned in the last post. Hey, who knows? You may just score some unbelievable loot! Official IMLP socks - pretty damned sweet.
Cheers!

Hey Darren good luck in Placid
Just a last minute tip on good form
Don't forget to grimace / sneer like a pro.It doesn't make you go faster but man it looks way cool.
As for my prediction on finishing time I'll say 10:29 but don't be afraid to make look bad and go faster. Enjoy yourself.
Doug out
Hey Bro,
This tough! My heart says you are gonna blow ur PB away. I think you are gonna be much closer to the magic 10 hour point this year, and weather looks good. So I'm going with 10:20 and wishing you good luck and no flat tires. Mom and I with you 100%
Love,
Dad
