Pre-Race Meeting


“Mandatory” Not sure why. They read us the email that they sent to us…word for word. Oh well. It was exciting to see 1500+ racers ready to go. Swim practice was cancelled today due to the crazy high winds and strong current. They changed the swim course a little. The first turn buoy was originally 700 meters out and they shortened it to 500 meters and tacked on the additional 200 meters at the end where they said the current will be a little weaker as we will be closer in to shore. That’s cool. They are planning on having another practice in the morning (Saturday), so if the wind has calmed down we may go try again.

Dad and Pete got their press passes today. It is pretty cool. They can even be driven around on the official motorcycles to take pictures. That is exciting. I hope they get some good footage!
