Beach 2 Battleship : Official Thread (Page 17)

I haven't gotten mine.  I'm in Atlanta.

I haven't received mine either.....Hope its the same!

I was waivering on my wetsuit booties since they were calling for 50's as the low, but as of now pretty much all sites are calling for lows in the 40's on Sat. and all the days around then so I think I will be letting the w.s. stippers unzip me and maybe unzipping to the waist, but I will make the jog to T1 w/ the booties and bottom half of my WS on. 

I am a little concered that I feel too relaxed about this one - maybe because I have very relaxed expectations of myself, maybe b/c it's the 3rd IM, maybe because the flu pandemic is about to strike our house?  Oh wait - there's my good old pre-race anxiety rearing it's ugly head ; )  Hope everyone that has been sick is healing up and resting lots!!

Race Aniexty is finally here.  I slammed my finger in the trash compactor...changed tubes in my tired twice yesterday.  Cleaned the bike but am now worried I might have "adjusted" my derailers.....etc.

Oh yeah, got my Dr. Buddy to right a presciption for Ambien in case I can't sleep.....now I am worried I will sleep through my alam.

Just let the race begin PLEASE!

My race nerosis (is that a word?) is generally focused on whether or not I'll actually get to start the race w/ my sister due to deliver anytime in the next week and a half, and the flu pandemic seems to be everywhere around us!!  I almost didn't let my son go to a birthday party on Sat. at pump it up - the germs are EVERYWHERE there!!!!

My packet came today.

I think for us it's ot a big deal, our bikes will take us where we need to go & all of or courses are marked : )  Last year we just took our time heading to the battleship.  We spent the whole day there & had a lot of fun (and spectating with 2 kids in tow is usually not so much fun!)   The really bad part was getting back to the car at the end and it sounds like they have that worked out for this year.

My husband has it easy with no kiddos along this year - he has his chair to camp out by T2 and his book to read, it should be a nice day for him!

Current forcast - low 43, high 63 - it'll be a layering day!  Lots of sunshine!!

I'm scared. I hate the cold!! I have been going over and over in my head what to wear.... layers - layers - layers!!!

NO bus spots left (FYI) .... we have a hotel near the swim start. but can we drop off bags 2-6 on Friday? I dont want to be driving back and forth all morning before the race. I am racing the full and my husband is racing the half so he wont start for an hour + after me ...is there a bus from the hilton for him? should we drive together to the swim start and then when he is done racing he can take a cab back to the swim start to get the truck....ugh...LOGISTICS OF THIS RACE ARE RETARDED!!!

Also, is there sitll a Friday night BT Get together??? If so count us in for 2!!

SHUTTLE INFO:

You can drop all the bags at T1 on Friday OR race morning.  They will transport them for you & you can drop your race morning bag at the swim start - they will bring it to be picked up at T2 at the end of the day.
