Do you have a crystal ball?  And what's wrong with 1st overall?

Just as an FYI, please pay attention to the forecast tomorrow and the fact that it will be HOTTTT.  Keep in mind that if we swim at 9:00, then you will not start riding until 10:30.  (I am almost debating riding before the swim)

 I might encourage those of you riding long (Lisa, Courtney, etc) to consider doing shorter loops so that you can refuel frequently.  For instance, I have 3.5 hours tomorrow.  I am most likely going to do the 27 mile loop twice and then add the 15 loop if needed.  This will put me back to my car every 1:30 where I will have an ICE cold bottle to cool me down.  I will also have an option to change my nutrition plan if I see fit (electrolytes).  I know Cartersville has a few places to stop but for me, personally, it isn't worth the risk. 

Not trying to be self-promoting but I spent much of this week blogging about heat acclimatization, fluid loss and recovery.  I might be helpful looking ahead to the weekend.

Change of plans for me - I'm going to ride from my house early and avoid the heat as much as I can.  Stay hydrated everyone!

I'm bringing a cooler with LOTS of water and ice and plan to go by my car each loop...
