2 days to go!

We were up early and down for a huge breakfast again today, they have a great buffet here.We talked with some other tri people about the race, they are usually very interested when they ask how many times I’ve done it and answer that this will be my 4th time. The hotel is full now of athletes. Later we walked over to the race hotel to pick up the banquet tickets. There were tons of people checking in today, big line up. Glad I did it yesterday! Looked around at the expo again, I love the race expos and talking to all the gear heads. I got a great new race kit from kswiss. I saw a guy at Lake Placid with it, its Canada red and white top and bottom and I’ll probably wear it on Sunday.

Later we were off to Walgreens for some bull frog sunscreen, it’s the best and it's going to be wicked hot and sunny on Sunday.The Girls needed to get in some quality shopping time so we headed to the mall and they did some dress shopping at Dillards and got some great deals on dresses. We headed back so I could do a 30min ride and 30min run. Athletes are everywhere now biking and running in every direction.

We attended the welcome banquet. Lots of emotion and it certainly got everyone hyped up. Ages in the race are from 18 to 80! and the biggest loser was a girl that lost 145lbs training for the Ironman. This year’s Ford Everyday Hero was a guy that is doing the race and has MS!

Tomorrow is the practice swim, to be honest I’m not sure if I'll go or not, we'll see. Then the bike check in from 12 to 5pm. Then…time to get really nervous!
