Day Before Race Day





Up early this morning to get everything organized and the transition bags packed. They have a great breakfast here at the Holiday Lodge and I carbo-loaded up on pancakes and home fries. Greg and Chris do a great job here making everyone feel as comfortable as home. The place is full of Ironman here for the race.

Took the P3 into the bike tech centre and asked them to remove the seat post and reinstall with carbon paste and re-torque it to specs. Hopefully it won't slip down during the race tomorrow! While we were waiting for the bike, I lined up and entered next year's race. It took over an hour in line!

We had a late pasta lunch, took a quick drive of the run course and headed for home. Very hot and humid here today, hopefully it will stay over for tomorrow. We had quite a downpour on the way back to the motel and I felt bad for all the cyclists we saw making their way along in the rain. Maybe a pizza later and then early to bed and hopefully to sleep!

Hey good luck bud! Hope the carbon paste works on your seat post. But knowing you I think you can do the whole ride out of the saddle anyway.
