We Have Arrived!
And we didn't even get lost. Well, okay...maybe once. It was somewhere around the Art Museum. I think we were too busy looking at the Rocky statue and ended up in the wrong lane. And therefore the wrong road. But we eventually righted ourselves and ended up at our hotel in one piece.
And now we are all settled in. I even have my packet already! We hit up the expo and saw Heather at the Zoot booth. AND get this - the Philadelphia Zoo had a booth at the expo and the guest of honor was Needles! Needles, of course, is the resident porcupine. That was the best expo ever.
Tomorrow will be the usual light workouts and checking out the course. I'm really excited for this race. It's my first race in a big city (Pittsburgh does not count because (a) it's not a big city and (b) it's my hometown so it doesn't seem new or different) and there will be great competition! I have some big goals (as always), the most important of which is to make the most of this great opportunity to race. As I learned last year, just getting to the race healthy and on the starting line in one piece is a victory! Now it's time to make it count.
Best of luck to all those racing this weekend including IM Japan and IM CDA! ENJOY and BE GREAT!
