alive and well in AZ
we got to AZ on wed with no problems. no workouts wed as i took time to visit with the family and relax.yesterday i went to IM registration and it was crazy. this place was wall to wall psycho traithletes. half the people were walking around in full race gear chewing on powerbars. i got there right for the open swim ended and saw people going all out in swim practice. i spotted a few pros (both lovatos, bonney, evoe, juhannsen sp?) and saw the voice of IM mike reilly. registration took about 30min and my official weight in was 148lbs. i gather some freebies at the expo and chatted with dr z. after checking everything out i headed back home for a pool swim and lunch. yesterday was a short 20min swim with some builds and fast 25s. i wanted to get in a30min bike but by the time i picked up my bike back at the race expo it was getting late and we had dinner plans. dinner was great last night and we caught up on some sleep.
today will be a wetsuit swim at the race venue and then a bike this afternoon. i am tempted to run but i will error on the side of caution and not. my parents fly in today so i am very excited to see them and hang out. the clock is ticking!!!!!
on a side note, this whole scene is kind of overwhelming. i have done plenty of tris but none to this magnitude. i truly feels like the big time. i drove the bike course yesterday. it was i some incline heading out and a slight downhill back into town. am they were telling the truth when they said watch out for tumbleweeds. i saw some that were the size of 18wheeler tires. i drove the course in my uncles mini cooper. that was sweet!!!!!!!!!! lets hope the winds get under control!!!!!
