the final leg of the Ironman journey…..
It is Thursday night and I am sitting in a hotel room in Middleton, WI. This will be Home for the next 4 days. I took about two hours this afternoon packing, adding to the piles I had started earlier in the week and hoping I remembered everything I will need for Sunday. I do believe the last thing I put in the car tonight was my kitchen sink! Yikes I have a lot of stuff along. I think I have
- The MOST Important Things (wetsuit, goggles, bike, helmet, bike shoes, Oakley sunglasses and running shoes)
- The NEXT Most Important Things (swimsuit, biking clothes of choice and running clothes of choice)
- The Necessary Items that can be replaced if forgotten (nutrition, water bottles, body glide, bike tubes, CO2 cartridges…)
- The nice things in life – clothes from SkirtSports to wear before and after the race as well as some warmer clothes, compression socks and knickers, comfy shoes, some Abita Amber Beer and a bottle of 14 Hands! Hey I need to calm the butterflies with something!!!!
- Deal of the Day! I got a free Abita Beer Pint glass when I purchased a 6-pack of Abita Beer!!!! How can you go wrong there? That has to be a good omen for the Girl from Louisiana!!! Come to Madison, find Abita AMBER and get a free pint glass!!!! 🙂 Happy Girl!!!
Well, time to concentrate on the task at hand – Cheering the Saints to a victory over the Packers! I think they need my help!
I will try to check in again tomorrow and let you know how things are going and maybe share my Race Plan and nightmares…..
