Phew. Today was a looooooooong day. I had a ton of patients and paperwork to get squared away. Tomorrow AM I pick up my bike from the shop and do a short test ride. My racing shorts arrived just in time today (don't worry, they're identical to the ones I've been training in, I just needed to make sure I didn't flash any crack on TV). And now, I'm ready for bed. Thanks to all my TE pals. You've been fab. Hopefully this is not my last post before the race, regardless, I gotta say that you ladies rock.

I wonder what Wahine is doing today?? I'm sure she has that sparkly bracelet on by now, and is fully immersed in all things Iron.
I'm JEALOUS!!!

Update
I arrived in Penticton today. I'm pretty mellow. No flashy braclet yet...that's tomorrow. I'm heading out for a short swim and a bike to try out my new 2XU suit that my run coach gave me yesterday. It's really hot and I'd love to wear it but... you know what they say about last minute changes. However, at first try it really is more comfortable than what I have. And, it's an Athletes for the Cure suit. So I'm supporting a good cause by wearing it.
Hmmmmmm, I shall test drive things tonight.
If I change outfits, I'll try to post a pic.
Turns out I have WiFi at the hotel.
Off to do more Ironmanly things!!Living life like there's no tomorrow.

PS It turns out I won't be able to take the laptop with me on Sunday. It is actually my son's laptop and he took it with him to his dad's... Looks like you have access to IM updates online anyway though. Good luck Cassie!

bracelet
Hi,
The bracelet she's referring to is the one that has your race number on it. Normally they give it to you at rego & you HAVE to wear it when you check your bike in and during the whole event.
