It's my anniversary for my wife and I. I missed her this morning but she is coming tonight. I met Jeff at the rez this morning. Ironman set up a little 750 yard loop. We did a couple of loops before they closed the course. We did a 3.5 mile run on the trail before going to packet pick up. Ironman set up outside and the ground was soaking wet. Not a good combination. Good to get there early to buy a tri kit before the popular sizes disappeared. Ironman gave us a cool backpack. My bike was at Tribike Transport but they didn't open until 1pm. I walked to the Pearl Street Mall to grab something to eat and tripped across Apolo Ohno outside the Newton shoe store. I had my picture made with him and wished him luck at Kona. It's not everyday you get a brush with Olympic greatness. After lunch, I picked up my bike and rode for about an hour. I did a big climb up Baseline Rd. The elevation here was most notable today on the bike. I really have to manage the climbs for the race. Good day today. Weather was nice and I was able to do a little bit of everything. At this point, I just want to race. My body is not happy with the short workouts.
