Ironman Arizona Race Report
Ready for the race!Hello,
The past week, I have been training here a little bit every day, but compared to what I did in the previous weeks at home, this was only peanuts. As a result, I start to feel really relaxed and almost ready to go. All week the weather has been splendid over here. A little fresher now than earlier. The predictions for the week-end are fantastic though. From now on, it will become a little hotter every day en for Sunday the prediction is 92 degrees Fahrenheit. Really the weather that I like! Yesterday Mike Cox, a bike mechanic, who drives around to help, came by. He gave the final touch to my bike (Cervelo P3C). My race wheels have been mounted and now my little machine looks very fast. This morning, I got a very stressing surprise. I wanted to have a swim in Lake Tempe (where the race will begin) with my wetsuit. I started to undress, took my wetsuit and what did I see: stupid Mr. Beke took Sofie’s wetsuit to the US. I was lucky though: 10 minutes later, I already had the right wetsuit in my hands. The local distributor had a stand 10 meters away and was willing to lend me one for the race. This race is the start of my 2008 season, a season that I am expecting a lot from! Greetings from Ahwatukee. Rutger News at the beginning of the 2008 seasonIt has been too long a time, since I published
something on my website. So, with the new season now starting for me too,
it’s time that I tell you how I am doing currently. Everything goes quite
well. I have been able to train all winter without injuries. That has given
me a lot of confidence, especially with regard to my running. I already have
two training camps behind me. In January, I spent two weeks in Lanzarote.
Afterwards, I went to South-Africa (Potchefstroom) for 3 weeks with other
athletes from the Belgian national team. (this is my sixth consecutive year
that I go there)
I promise that I will report on a more regular basis for the remainder of the season. (Writing this down is a way to oblige myself.) Greetings, Rutger PS: I still owe you the most important news: Tille will get a little brother or sister soon! I am sooooooooo glaaaaad! Attention: we are upgrading!
New Year
