Wow, slow day here.  Where is everyone?

I'm trying to get all my junk packed for tomorrow.  I also had to take care of a couple mechanical issues.  Went to wax my shifter cables and found a couple cracked ferrules.  So, five minute project turned into an hour project, but now have new housing and ferrules.

Hopefully I'll have a wireless connection tomorrow.  If so, I'm going to try and keep a narrative of the race on my training blog. 

I'm getting some pre-race jitters now!

I imagine every neighborhood has an annoying resident.  In our 'hood' we call her "The French Lady" (because she's an old lady... and she's French).  The French Lady is as nosy as they come and our Home Owners Association cringes when she leaves her door stoop.  Of course for years my Sons have exasperated this old lady's complaining by harassing her whenever possible so she knows our telephone number by heart.  Well, today the French Lady left us a voice message saying "a man is running around in front of our house dressed in a strange costume with a mask on and someone in shorts keeps chasing him on the Chief's bicycle".  She also said not to worry as she had already informed the Police Department.   The Patrol Officer and I had a great laugh as I explained my son was timing Transitions… and the strange outfit had to have been my wetsuit, cap and goggles.  What a hoot for a Friday!

Early this morning I did get to the pool and had a short dreadmill jaunt.  Will update the log shortly.  Full rest day tomorrow followed by my first race.  I’M STOKED!  Best wishes to everyone else racing this weekend and thanks for all the support.
