It’s a good sign…

Picked up my race packet this afternoon and guess what my number is?? 25!!! It’s my birthday, but I’ve always considered 25 to be “my number”. Like had I played any real team sports in highschool I would have been 25. Anyway, so right there I figure this is “my race” this year!!

It’s after midnight, and I’ll be leaving my house in 5 hours to get to Belle Isle to set up my stuff for the race. Up kind of late due to Libertyfest Fireworks tonight. Worked out kind of well as we watched them from MIL’s backyard and had an awesome clear view! No need to stake out any kind of territory, find parking or deal with traffic before or after!! Gotta love it!!

Anyhoo, I think I have all the stuff I need for the race…

• Bike rack on the car and bike on it
• Helmet, bike gloves, tire pump, geaux(fix a flat), water bottle and bike computer in trunk
• goggles, swimcap, towel in backpack
• race belt, running hat, MP3 player (it’s a closed run course) and bandana also in backpack
• bag of clothes for after race
• snack bag of food for ride home

All I’ll have to do in the morning is get dressed in my tri-suit, put on my HRM, socks, running shoes and eat breakfast if I can!

So that’s all for now! I’m so ready for tomorrow  today!

Updates to come either later today or Monday if I’m too tired!
