I also had a pretty detailed plan and it was helpful to write up the basics and stick it in a little ziploc in my bike bento box and running fanny pack.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the weekend, the race and the finish. Savor your moment crossing the finish line. Can't wait to cheer you on--even if from a computer--on Sunday.<BR/><BR/>It was also helpful for me to talk with the swim director, who will probably speak to you at the athlete meeting Friday evening, directly about having a meter available between swim laps. My boyfriend got a special wristband that allowed him into the swim area and he met me after the 1st lap. It took some effort for him to get through the crowds, and the first year he didn't make it; this year he did. He had a couple gels and a gel flask with water in it if I needed to wash down a gel. Also he had a small washcloth for me to dry my hands on.<BR/><BR/>Try to keep a smile on your face and encourage those around you and you will have a magical day. Race strong and have fun.<BR/><BR/>-AnneAnne Findlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005305831235654057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523416326400575666.post-77693357345192684402008-07-15T17:36:00.000-07:002008-07-15T17:36:00.000-07:00you've done all the hard work, and now it's time t...you've done all the hard work, and now it's time to enjoy the ride. you have practiced nutrition and pacing throughout the season... you're strong both mentally and physically. youre ready ed. i cant wait to witness you accomplish your goal.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247869094266596212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523416326400575666.post-3181244614596659182008-07-15T15:18:00.000-07:002008-07-15T15:18:00.000-07:00Just wanted to say good luck!

I understand the gel (stuff in arm of wetsuit or swim cap) but can't figure out how you're going to test. Just curious.<BR/><BR/>-PJPJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01915520044052627933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523416326400575666.post-80339655658155768732008-07-15T08:27:00.000-07:002008-07-15T08:27:00.000-07:00Wow... that's unbelieveably detailed.
