No wetsuits for us either. When I took my friend to practice OWS last week, we practiced with and without the wetsuit. I hope the jellies stay home!

Wahoo, I will be fine. I was down at the site watching the try-a-tri people and the Kids of Steel early this morning - what fun! Then I stopped at Gyro beach and swam 500m in my tri suit. I was absolutely fine. I can do it - yahoo!!!!

Good luck to everyone who's racing tomorrow! We rock!!!!!!

Deaf-blind athlete
The coolest thing by far that I saw today at the Danskin packet pick-up was a deaf-blind athlete, with her interpreter, picking up her race packet.
Second coolest, the Team Survivor folks.
Kind of helps you keep your perspective, these things."My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

Go, TE Girls, go!!!
My friend who makes the jewelry from recycled bike parts, did the Xterra in Ogden, Utah today! Yahoooooooo!!! I saw on the race results that she finished and I'm amazed that anyone can do a 1.5k swim, 30k mtb ride and 10k trail run in the 4:25 she did it in (let alone the 2:25 the overall mens winner did it in). I bow down before all racers and all triathletes in particular! You rock, every one of you!!!!
Hugs and butterflies,
