Bikes assembled

Bikes are back in one piece! It was nervous for a while. Constitution's bike went AWOL with Air France, but was delivered just in time today. We spent the after/evening putting each part back on the bike, readying it for racing. Just a few tweaks left tomorrow after we take them out for a while and see what we missed.

Tomorrow my parents arrive and the whole support crew will be in place. Then just 48hours to race time.

Went to the expo today and received our race packets, with bib numbers and race instructions. Picked up a little Ironman merchandise and felt the nervous excitement sneak up a notch.

Went for a practice swim this AM and coincided (by at least 20yards) with my first few jelly fish. Far away and not threatening, but certainly a shock at first, but a good swim nonetheless and a lot clearer than Cedar Lake.

Tomorrow, off for a ride in this bloody humid environment. Worried about that, but unavoidable.

And now on to the celebration of my wife's birthday! A trooper and I am so lucky to have her with me on this journey!

Good luck to us all!
