That spa stuff will definitely come in handy.

Visualizations aren't hokey... the brain is a mysterious thing. Stick with it. When do you leave?

but I am way ahead of myself....I actually have to finish mine first

Dates just seem way too long... I want something simpler. Maybe the year, I guess, but I want something pretty simple if I go through with it in a public place. KSH's was really cool, an original design would be the other way to go.

We just don't have any doubts that you'll finish.

Are you heading up tomorrow? Friday?

Well I have done the registration, the practice bike ( where people were passing me in a steady stream) popped into the lake for a quick swim and had lunch with Wahine and her beau! Lunch was great it was good to catch up. Now we just have the mandatory meeting tonigh tand check-in tomorrow. Yikes!! I am constantly nauseous

Hopeully that will improve

bye for now- oh and the weather has been updated again- now calling for 40% chance of rain- not much accumulation though so I thinkit still looks good- not smoking hot

Hopefully KC your nerves are holding up better than mine!!

Weather sounds decent... 40% isn't too bad, maybe some sprinkles. Wind makes it worse, but hot direct sun really sucks. Rain on the run isn't bad until you start walking or the sun goes down, watch your temperature, maybe wear an extra layer through the run (when we had rain on the run, I left my arm warmers on, and didn't regret it, for morning clouds or cool temps I just wear them on the bike).

The meeting is mostly boring but good to hear. Sometimes it's nice to be around people as nervous as you are, you feel a little less crazy.

Let the final countdown begin!

That means there's a 60% chance that it won't rain!

We'll be cheering for you guys. I know you will do just fine.
