I have a team.
Dinner with Chris and Gretchen, Karen and Bill was wonderful. So gracious of them to pick me up and feed me- Karen's hand is faster than a speeding bullet - while I am asking for help picking up Dusty and helping with logistics and bike & gear bag pick up Sunday during the race, not to mention the secret hope that Dustin will see some golf action.
They were much fun and both good support and distraction...wedding talk and Chris' recent escapades to LA on business.
I'd love to see Dustin's face when Chris and Gretchen hold up a sign for him at the airport. Then again, glad they're doing it and I can keep my legs up and start winding down to try to make it an early night.
Have to admit asking for help and having a TEAM takes some getting used to but it feels good.
Welcome dinner tonight, followed by mandatory race meeting.
Then open water swim tomorrow to experience the icy waters of Tempe Town Lake, bike and gear bag check in. The only thing left is making sure I have plenty of time for body marking race day morning and pumping up tires.
