I was out riding late October and snapped this photo while on Robinson Rd, adding in a last few intervals before Ironman Florida.  The sun went down a bit quicker than I thought it would and I stopped to take this quick pic, which turned out good.  I would recommend not putting the digital camera in the bento box on the front of the bike, my camera seems to have rewired itself with the help of my perspiration.  

This year I have put a lot of miles on the bike at Rocky Mount and ERBC to Mansfield.  We even got to see a cougar on the side of the road one weekend out on HWY 1 between Ellerbe and the General Store about five miles out.   The cougar was not alive, ...I don't know if a car hit the cougar or it was killed and placed there.   Jeff and Seth also spotted the cougar but none of us stopped to whip out the phone and take a pic.  Next time the workout will have to stop for a moment to capture the event.  The cougar was gone the next day.

I'm feeling pretty good about IMFL.  The training has been great, and I'm as fit as I have ever been.  I'm ready.  Bring it on.
