SubscribeWell today was the last pre-race day.
I ran a bit of the course into the finish line, where I got a cheer from some folks who were there hanging out.
Got my bike racked
Scoped out the swim exit
and entry to transition
(see it? WAAAAY down there?)
And generally tried to take it easy and stay off my feet.
Have all my nutrition mixed or bagged for the morning, my Garmin 910 is set to alert me at the race-plan thresholds that Ian and I have set. My kit is all packed, my clothes for morning are laid out and I’m good to go.
Right now, it’s 7:30, I’m just finishing up dinner and this blog post then to bed. Have 3 alarms set 3:15, :30, and :45 (just in case). Shuttles start at 4am. So I’m going to cut this short.
Thanks to everyone who’s wished me well for tomorrow. It’s going to be a great day and I’m gonna have fun no matter what. Think tailwinds and other fast thoughts for me. I’ll post a race review, probably on Monday.
Special thanks to:
- Kim for dealing with all my training, dietary and gadget requirements over the lead up to this and other events.
- Ian for his great council and guidance getting here
- My folks and especially my Dad, who’s strength and determination getting through his bout with GBS is an inspiration to me
- First Endurance for their nutrition support
- Blacksmith Cycles for their sponsorship and the loan of these super-slick Madfibre wheels
- and, Richard and Jamuna Burry for being such awesome, and generous hosts here in Panama
Shin is better than it has been, but not 100%. I have advil and alieve and have mentally prepared myself to feel it. Sunday night it’ll be angry with me, but it’ll get rest soon. 🙂
Can’t guarantee much except that I’ll leave everything on the course and have fun doing it.
