Friday morning, Audrey, Verna and I loaded up the jeep and drove to Marquette. Because it was my car and the weather was super crappy, I didn't want anyone to feel unconfy driving a car other than theirs, so i drove the entire way... 7 hours... with one stop... the convo was good, and it went fast, but it was a stressful 7 hours because the roads were so bad.
We checked into the hotel, went to the race expo/bib pickup, then went to get some bananas and then ate at buffalo wild wings. had some beer, and wine and packed up for the next day and were in bed by 11.
Up at 6, breakfast in the hotel (yummy waffel) then changed and packed up the car, checked out and drove to the Superior dome. Got on the last bus to the start, and hung out in the school next to the start for about 45 min. The three of us started in the last wave so we had a while to wait. Drank a pink rock star, had a gu about 20 min before the start, got super nervous for some reason. then 10 min before our start, Walked out to the start, got in the tracks and were off!
No warm up. This race is so long, I planned on using the first 20 min as a 'warmup'
