"Intimidated"

When you get involved in races of this length you find a whole new level of athlete. There will probably be some world class triathletes doing this race tomorrow. It's a bit intimidating seeing all these very fit people with thir high tech gear.

I'm gonna try my damndest to have fun. I need to put any completion times out of my head.

We are now safely ensconced in the RV within a 2 minute walk of the transition area. That part is really cool and will help alleviate some stress in the morning.

Wish me luck! I hope this posts ok with my blackberry and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
I wish to dedicate day 290 to Piet Rooijakkers who is currently competing in the Tour de France.

....On having fun...

Good luck Pete. Those world class athletes are just like you. They started some where and go through the trials and tribulations of prepping for various events. They go through the nerve cycle, they just have a little more experience at hiding their emotions.
Have a good race....enjoy it..
