Pumpkinman time prediction

Swim 32 - I think I can do this despite not swimming much. Should be easier to sight and I plan on going hard. T1 - 3 min Bike 2:26 - I should be at least 5 minutes faster than at Timberman. Its 1 mile shorter and a lot faster. T2 - 1min Run 1:28 - Gotta go hard and stay tough. Plan on going out at 6:35 and sticking with it. Total time 4:30 VERY AGGRESSIVE, but can be done! Need to stay tough on the run and keep my power in check on the bike. At mile 28 I will decided to go harder if I have it in me. Goal wattage 190 for first half, 195 back half.

5 days out from Pumpkinman

I have drank WAY too much coffee and feeling a bit anxious. Labor Day weekend was a great time with family and friends. I didnt obsess too much over training or eating. I actually ate pretty bad and was nervous to get on the scale... Weight 154 Overall condition - I feel pretty solid. My neck/shoulder is kind of a mess, but confident that I will be fine on race day. YMCA is closed, so no swimming last two weeks. Not ideal, but I've hammered my bike and running. Next up, time prediction....
