I believe this is the 3rd one...
It's such a long freaking preparation, you could write a novel during the build-up!
I just booked my flight and hotel, which is one step closer to the finish line...now I have the following "to do" still before getting away, it's like a marathon just getting ready for this damm thing:
- Pick-up some fast Zipp wheels so I can stay a little closer to the fast people on bikes worth more than my 4-year old minivan
- Clean my bike and then pack it for the plane ride..
- Figure out my nutritional needs and load my sherpa to carry all this stuff
- Get all these achy, sore, tight muscles loose and limber in the next 9 days
- Get one more swim in seeing as I have not been in the water (except the shower) for 6 weeks...):
- Find a dog-sitter for the mascot..
- Prepare some meetings for while I am in Phoenix
- Pack all my needs, light enough now or else the airlines will charge me a small fortune for excess baggage...
- Start a daily prayer ritual so I survive the swim and escape the water in one piece!
- Write my will just in case...
(:
Onwards Arizona
