It's Game Time Sports Fans!!!

We are on the less than 12 hour countdown...it's officially here, it's game time.  The clown car arrived this afternoon and delivered the rest of the family and friends.  My team is 7 deep and I am so happy and grateful they are here to support me.  I have driven the bike course and run course, they look tough, but I know I can handle them.  The weather gods appear to be cooperating, or trying to, and we should have a dry bike at least, if not a dry run.  I have tested the waters and they are cold but manageable.  Everything is set and ready to go.  I have made my list and checked it twice.  

LET'S DO THIS!!!!

The swim course this evening...it looks nice and calm!
All the bikes are ready to go!!
Checking my timing chip and getting final instructions.
Going for a test swim...it was super choppy and cold, fingers crossed it will be smooth as glass tomorrow!
All the signs friends and families made for the racers along the run course.  You were only supposed to make one per participant, we made three...whoops!
