I've come up with a few mantras I might use during the race:
I am Jason Lezak
BodyGlide makes my complexion look great.
Snot running down my nose is cool...here, have some (wipe, flick).
Feel the aero, be the arrow.
Powerbar or PBJ? Yummy in my tummy.
I'm so photogenic
That post-race beer is gonna taste really good
Light feet, quick feet, this is sweet
Yeah, I'm a little punchy right now.
I finished my last hard swim this morning and I am so ready for this Ironman. Six and half months of training. Completed all but 3 workouts. I have my plan A and B and my coach has done a damn good job training me. We did IM Switzerland together. Trained in Italy together and now we're gonna race IM Canada together! What a blast this is gonna be!
I think his wife suspects something.
Coach Kris and me. Zurich 2007.
This adventure is far from finished. It continues and grows from day to day. And so much like life, in it's exuberance, will always succeed in overflowing the narrow limits within which man thinks he can confine it. -Jacques Cousteau-
Peace and blessings to you all and thanks again for all the love.

Hang in there Jeff!!!
