Greetings from the Valley of the Sun. After a rainy drive to Charlotte, 4 hours on the plane and few stressful moments when my bike did not come down the luggage shoot, all is well.
The bike was assembled without much incident although they discovered one of my aero bars has a slight crack. They gave me three slip ties and told me to tie it to the bars if it snaps during the race. Just what I want to think about for six hours.
It all starts tomorrow: My first experience at the athlete village and a swim in the lake. I want to run a little and even get on the bike but their is a smog warning and I don't want to chance getting clogged up. Hopefully, I can get out Friday.
The weather looks good for the race. Highs around 83 with some wind. As long as it is a tail wind, I'm good.
I hope to take some pictures for sharing tomorrow. We'll see if I can figure out how to work the camera and then download the pictures.
Props for the Day: (1) Dave at Motion Makers for finding my seat post clamp at the last moment and making the effort to find me and (2) Kelsey for getting home from surgery at Duke and now being taller than her Mom. Hang in there.
Have a great Thursday!
