My alarm is set for 4:45 am Monday morning. Starting tomorrow, training begins. I’m starting this year over 200 lbs, a weight which I haven’t been in years. I felt really good going into the 2011 race at 185lbs and lost over ten pounds the day of the race. I felt as if I ran out of steam at the end.
