Almost there

Tomorrow is the big day. Drove part of the windy hilly course today. There were many beautiful vistas on display that, despite my stress levels of today, will no doubt trump any tiredness that we may feel at the time.

Napoleon is very relaxed. This is his third Ironman! Constitution is in the middle with me bringing up a stressful rear. Napoleon cooked us a fantastic pre-race meal this evening. Just the job and will fuel us well for tomorrow. Now all that is left is for a short, but hopefully solid night's sleep in the noisy downtown that is Nice. This is not helped by the fact that France play Spain tonight in a very important football game. Here's hoping the French lose which should make for a quiet end to the night!

Tomorrow is due to be warm and sunny. Only 77degree F, but with the humidity the heat will be the main challenge of the day. We all know we can cover the distance. We have trained well and intelligently. The heat is the only factor that is somewhat unknown to myself and Constitution. Napoleon lives for it. Let's hope it does not get in anyone's way.

Here's looking forward to the finish line and what lies beyond it. It's been an amazing journey with one very jubilant party to finish it all off.

Good luck to us all!
