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.

i was going to comment on the actual text of your post, but after watching that video (which i had NEVER seen before), i remembered that it's Wednesday, and I need to get to bed before business hours are over.

Just remember that's why they're called businness socks.

I can't see how it would be bad form to work part of the course in advance of the race. That's usually called "smart" by most folks. As you know, in running, it's encouraged to run all or part of the ourse prior to the actual race. I would assume the same applies to a tri.
Go get 'em!

That video always cracks me up. Good luck on Sunday - I hope I get the chance to meet you!

Good luck tomorrow. I will be thinking about you and your race! Can't wait to hear/read all about it!
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.
