It is all sort of ho hum right now, I am ready, healthy and basically pretty calm about the whole thing. My wetsuit is here, I tested it out in pretty heavy chop on Fathers day with a really short swim, just enough to make sure I could still breath properly in whitecap conditions. It was not a problem but heavy chop does not make the best swimming conditions.
No worries though the forecast looks promising for Sunday. So I am just kicking back right now, I have been busy and after only 6 hours of training last week I have 0 so far this week, but I plan on getting light workouts in Wed, Thursday and Friday. No plans really, just go with what feels right. Then I am thinking about swimming all our part of the course when I go to pick up my race packet Saturday. But I must confess, being a newbie I am not sure if this is bad ettiquitte, will other athletes or race directors frown upon this?? If you know please tell me becase you know me I am a follower and not a trend setter. I mean it's a park, would it really be a big deal?
Regardless one other revelation I had last week, your bike rides a bit harsher but goes faster when you have 100psi in the tires versus 80psi.



Hey, good luck and I hope the weather goes your way. I've been reading what happened to the Kansas tri guys (Jayhawk, etc) and it sounds terrible.
By the way, I love the Flight of the Conchords... the HBO special they did are still among the funniest half hours i've ever watched.
