There are less than thirty days to go. So literally the countdown. I've figured a plan for getting the bike there. Have been reading the athlete guide and determining what my 'special needs' are for spots on the race course. I've got reservations, plane tickets, etc and know I need to write an exam and secure a proctor for that for my course at ISU. I'll have payroll just done before I leave hopefully. But the most important question still may just come down to....
what to wear?
I've decided at this point bike shorts are a girls best friend. So I'll be using more minutes up in transition but that's OK with me. A fresh set of clothes will actually feel really good and after a swim in ultra cold water I can imagine that something dry will appeal to me a great deal. The swim suit and wet suit is a given, it's up to a bike jersey and jacket and then the right mix for the run left to determine.
After all the intrigue of triathlon and the strength and grace of elite athletes in the sport, I've not personally found much grace on race day. More pond scum and mucous than sleek and sexy. Ironic then that after the blood sweat and tears it can still come down to ....what will you wear?
