Panic is setting in

Well this morning, our plan for an early morning swim didn't really happen. It was like an episode out of Seinfeld, where Elaine didn't wake up the marathon running in time for the race. Although we did enjoy the extra sleep.

Chris and I again headed to the race site to get another swim in. We swam most of the course again and were holding a pretty good pace. Chris saw a few jellyfishes but I didn't see any. We had a good swim and overall it was a good morning.

After the swim, it was time to get more food and just stay off our feet. So the group decided to head to the ocean and have some fun in the water and afterwards we swam in our pool just for fun. Since today was the pre-race dinner and meeting, we had an early dinner because no one wanted to eat at the meeting because in past years the food wasn't good. So Chris, Trevor and I went to the meeting a little later after the dinner was served.

At the meeting they started to show race videos and talking to the pro athletes and some athletes that has done some impressive things to get here. It was all very motivational and very emotional, knowing that in a few days we would be like those athletes in the videos.

After the meeting, we all came back to our hotel and started to look at our nutrition and start planning our race days bags.

An early night since Chris and I have to drive the bike course tomorrow.
