My son, James, just graduated from N.C. State and is home for 2 weeks before moving to Rocky Mount to start his new career, so I wanted to make this trip into somewhat of a family vacation with him.
We left Friday morning and went straight to the Serpentarium in Wilmington. It is a HUGE building full of poisonous snakes and constrictors! Eeeeek!
Then we went to Flaming Amy's for lunch, which has become a Kure Beach tradition. I didn't know he could eat with chop sticks!
We went to packet pickup, checked into hotel, then off to the beach for some open water swim practice. The water so SO ROUGH that Pete refused to get it. Hope it calms down for the race tomorrow!
Got up at 4:00 a.m. Had coffee and a half of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then headed to the race sight. Bumped into Louie and Daryn, so FINALLY got to meet those two elusive guys in person! We've had a few encounters on race courses, but never had a chance to speak until now. Louie was a BIG help to me when I prepared for my first Half a couple of years ago. Also found several of my teammates; we had about 11 team members at this race.
I only had time to jump in the water a few minutes before race start to get over the initial shock.
