Exciting Time

A very exciting time in Boston this weekend with all the racing and playoffs and perfect weather.

Looks like the trend will hold for tomorrow and it will be a great day to rip 26/2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston. It is all over except for the racing now. Just finished my last shakeout of 26 minutes with some strides and some stretching. I feel really fit and strong and can't wait for the race. I am very excited to see what kind of time I can wring out of my legs. I have not been sick or injured for the entire build up which has never happened to me. There are no excuses to lean on. Now I am going to proceed to put my feet up and see how much nothing I can do. I bet it is a lot.

For those of you out on the course tomorrow watching the race, I will be wearing bib #35 and wearing blue shorts with a blue/white singlet and black gloves.

It will look exactly like this.
