33 hrs to go. I’ve done all that I can do. Trained 18 weeks. Planned every bit of food and liquid from today until the finish line. Thought through the transitions. Bathed my bike. Packed an insane amount of stuff. Dropped off my bike for transport. Gathered last minute items (new sunglasses and a flashlight). Mentally ran through my race. Tapered. Went for a (great) 20 minute run with intervals. Stretched. And now it’s time for the second night of quality rest since tomorrow night will be no good. I’ll barely be in bed before 10 and I’ll have to wake up at 3:45am. Oh, and if you were thinking of coming out, here’s a map. The main event will be near Playland Park (roller coaster rides after?), and above is the run map. I’m hoping to get just under 4 hrs (3:59 sounds so much better than 4:01), but the forecast calls for rain so we’ll see how fast the bike goes. I’m in the 8th swim wave starting at 7:27 with a hot pink swim cap, and I expect the day to go something like: 7:30 - swim8:15 - T18:20 - Bike10:20 - T210:25 - Run11:30 - Finish Ideally the transitions won’t take 5 minutes, and the bike will go faster, and I’ll feel phenomenal and run 9 minute miles after all of that, but who knows. The only thing I do know is that after 18 weeks I think I’m ready. See you guys at the finish line and I’ll holler about the SUNDAY FUNDAY post-race celebration. #1089 MDF

I’m in the 8th swim wave starting at 7:27 with a hot pink swim cap, and I expect the day to go something like:

7:30 - swim

8:20 - Bike
10:20 - T2
10:25 - Run
11:30 - Finish

Ideally the transitions won’t take 5 minutes, and the bike will go faster, and I’ll feel phenomenal and run 9 minute miles after all of that, but who knows.

The only thing I do know is that after 18 weeks I think I’m ready.

See you guys at the finish line and I’ll holler about the SUNDAY FUNDAY post-race celebration.
