Race day morning

Sorry for all typos, using Itouch in pitch dark right now :)

Got in Carlsbad in time!
Great expo!
Got my bib with my name on it, first time I get one like that!
We drove the course yesterday, beautiful! A large part of it is by the ocean! First 2-3 miles going up though so I have to go slow there.
We are staying in a great hotel- thank you FIL for letting us use your time share card!!
Runners will pass in front of our hotel so perfect for Bill + boys!

It is colder then I expected but I know it will warm up during the race. I am not 100% sure as to what to wear. Inexperience is a factor!
It is in the mid 40s right now. But it could go up to 65 for the last couple of miles.

Got up at 4:45 to have my coffee and eat in the dark while my supporting crew sleeps.
Now time to get dressed and head to the starting line!
SHOW TIME!

  2. I usually buy some cheap clothes from Walmart and then throw them away. A lot of races, collect them afterwards and donate to charity.

    Believe in you, you trained hard and now you will earn the reward!! :)
