Two Weeks to Go!

Wow. I can't believe this is the last week of training. Yikes. This morning we did our last brick before the big day. I decided it was time to try out the TriKini shorts to see if I could ride and run in them. A little bit of getting used to, but it worked out. Our ride got cut a little short by a seat snafu. I had tried moving it up to adjust the height and apparently I didn't get it good and tight, so the first big bump and I was going down. By the time we got to the house to get the pliers, my knees felt like they were up to my eyeballs when I peddled. Needless to say, I can't let that happen on race day, so I'm contemplating drilling a hole through the spoke and putting a bolt through it so the seat will not go lower, tight or not.

Also had a snafu last Friday. I had ordered the "spare" swim cap "just in case", all that language. Marc had said that he doubted you could tear them up after I stated when I ordered it that I always felt like I was about to. Well, it turns out you can. Friday I went to put it on and ripped it into two pieces. And then I announced to myself and everyone around that I guessed I would go without that then as I put it back in my bag. Opps. Good thing the replacement is already on the way. Of course now I have to get another "replacement". Hopefully this isn't going to be a habit with me.

Today I also made myself a raceday checklist. One of the books we leafed through at Barnes and Noble mentioned a website that allows you to make a free custom checklist for raceday. Now if I just remembered to put everything on the checklist, I guess I'll remember to pack everything I need.
