17 Hours to go ...


Dropped my bike and transition bags off early this morning because I had to get back home because my parents were coming into town and Tate had a soccer game at 2:30. 
So, I was one of the first people into transition. 

Above is a picture of my bike all alone. 
That has already changed as I type this because 2,646 more people are going to drop their bikes off by 3:00 p.m. today. 

Yep, 2,647 people are racing tomorrow.

I asked the NAS guys last night at the pre-race dinner.

CRAZY!!! 

That's a lot of peeps.

So, this will be my last post until after the race. 
Wish me luck and send me good vibes.
I am trying to go sub-11, so like a 10:58 would be awesome, if I had a great and lucky day and nailed it.
A more realistic goal is around 11:30 -11:59, though.

BUT, we'll see. 
The funny thing about an Ironman is that anything can happen. It is a long day.
Chat with you all later and thanks for your support.
