Oh my gosh, its coming up fast!!! Melisa, I will most likely try to get there about the time Denise will be coming out of the water. With the two boys, I don't know how well they will do 'hanging around' for long periods of time so I'm trying to be smart and make sure I'm there at the important times! I will definately hook up with Denise Saturday at the pre-race meeting (if not before) as we will be arriving on Friday and leaving Monday morning. I hope to catch Denise at the transitions and at the finish so we will be going back and forth either to the zoo (Thanks, Denise!!! ) or to the hotel pool (depending on the weather) etc. We're at the Holiday Inn, not that close but an okay distance (1.75 miles away) I would just walk back and forth but I don't know if the kids are up for that so I think I'm going to borrow a wagon or take a cab.

I'll PM you with all of my contact info as I want to make it as easy as possible to find each other given the expected confusion and chaos!

Denise, I'll PM you my info for the bracelet! COOL!!!!

Enjoy your taper and resist the temptation to go use that energy!!!
