im' pretty good actually.. I am certain I will start getting nervous mid next week most likely.. i tend to push things out of mind until the last moment..  keeping all the angst as much out of the neo cortex.  im certain the limbic brain will take over.. as the tic toc gets closer to the 'hour'..  sleep is good.. prolly wont get any the night before..so I will try to be extra slept the nights before..   I close on a new house on the 3rd of sept as well.. so things are a bit chaotic.. work is starting to call me as well with issues.. (ive been off for 10 weeks).. so I AM READY to get this race done.. very excited and very nervous... i've been dreaming about this day for a long time..  cant wait... 

rabkaman - 2008-08-30 8:39 PM  Thinking about the dinner deal too. .is that worth it?  Figured it will be packed everywhere else..  and I have my family and friends so it might be a easier process with no wait...  I think the mandatory athletic meeting immediate follows as well..

Roger the welcome banquet is definitely worth it...especially for first-timers.  Its included with your registration so you'll have to pay for family members to attend. And the athlete meeting is right after it so you might as well go.

Are MNDiver and I the only two who look at their watch and say "At this time ** days from now will be at such and such a point in the race"? Crazy.

At this point in 5 days, I'll be out of the water!

I must have done it 20 times today.  I actually gave a little fist pump a little after 3:00 figuring (hoping) I would be getting close to Camp Randall at that time.

It's 1pm. I'll be on the 2nd half of the bike.
