All my race gear is laid out on the dining room table. As I pack my transition bag, I will go over everything again. Matthew's tournament schedule worked out perfectly. Jimmy will be able to take him to all his games and meet his obligations for the weekend. I like that.
Friends are already in Orlando, and more friends will be arriving tomorrow. Right now, the plan is to shuttle the boyz off to school tomorrow, then get out on the road between 9 AM and 10 AM. That should put me in Orlando by 5. We'll see.
Friday night, I'll probably just take it easy. Saturday, I have a very short brick to do. Then its registration, bike check-in, then the expo. After that, I would really like to put my feet on the beach. We'll see how that works out.
Sunday, the race is scheduled to start at 6:30 AM. My wave goes off at either 6:47 or 6:50, depending on which one I am in. The weather forcast is seventy-one to ninety-one, slightly over cast. That should work out OK.
I'll be thinking of all my homies racing this weekend. As they say, the hard part is over now. Nothing left but the doing...
See ya on the flip side of half-iron,
Wes
