IM Lou on TV

Ironman Louisville was shown last sunday and will be again today at 4 EST on VS. Make sure to check it out, as I hear I am on for a little while. I haven't seen it yet, but am hoping to catch today's showing.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the States, so I'm doing a lot of preparation for family coming into town. Leland and I have been going crazy trying to get things ready. I will write more later.

Ciao,

Felipe

Pre IMFL update

I am just over 40 hours away from the end of my season. It feels like it was years ago when I toed the line for the first race of this season back in early March. It's been a long season!

Lots happened in my life this year:

- I graduated from the University of Florida

- I got into and passed on going to Law Scholl ( postponed until Fall '08)

- I moved from my adopted hometown of Gainesville, Fl to the outskirts of Birmingham, Al

- Bought a home with my significant other

- Rehired, and partnered with Marc becker at ironGuides.net to consult my fitness and training

- Signed on with 2 major sponsors whose products I truly use and love

- Was able to finish my first Ironman after a failed first attempt

... and on Saturday, i get the chance to make peace with myself on the very same IM race that I took on as my debut in the distance back in '05.

There were times this year when I had to put triathlon on the side for a little while, so my fitness suffered. Now that all of the above has been put behind me, I am ready to tackle 2008. After a quick break post IMFl, I will begin preparing for the upcoming season. I will head back to Gainesville during December for some solid winter training and to celebrate Christmas with Leland's family.

I will write more after the race this weekend.
