Go Erin, Go!: Post Ironman Blues

It's been just over 2 weeks since the big show... and I'm kind of sad its all over! It was such an emotional rollercoaster. I came back to my reality in Denver and was met with endless amounts of support. But, it is really hard to share with others what the experience was really like and expect them to completely understand. I've enjoyed meeting and chatting with other Ironman finishers, those who have fought the good fight too.

So now, I really need to start making the transition from triathlete back to marathon runner. I'm ready. I'm ready to have a routine, explore my limits, find my strengths, expose my weaknesses, make new friends, show off my new tattoo (this happens Saturday and I'll be sure to post about it!), have fun and do what I do best... explore.

This Sunday makes 9 weeks until the Mardi Gras Marathon. I'll be following a marathon training program from Road Racing for Serious Runners by Pete Pfitzinger and Scott Douglas. To be continued...

Below are a few addtional pics from Ironman Arizona.
