Yay!! I'm doing Canada, and would love to see a friendly face. I'm coming up alone (Jeff has some mountain climbing thing that weekend ) and so I have no one there to cheer for me. Wanna be my cheering squad?

I looked at your photos. You look amazing in every one. You *are* amazing! I have to say though, that simply looking at the photo of all those thousands of people lined up on the beach makes me a little sick to my stomach. The mass start scares the hell out of me, still. I know I can swim 4000 meters. But doing it in the midst of all those people makes me feel panicky just sitting here at my desk! What's you mental strategy for dealing with the melee??
