I can hear Jim Nabor singing Back Home again in Indiana every time I fly back home. The last day of camp was a short half day. I got in a 3rd ride in 3 days, and that made the weekend. I have not been able to ride outside three days in a row at home in a long time. I'm tired, but also have some new motivitation to keep training and get ready for the race season. Heather, Jen, Elizabeth and Monica all shared secrets of their success, and I'll try to keep all the ideas in the forefront of my mind and put them into action. Most importantly, I want to stick to the plan. Do my best to hit every workout. Learn from the mistakes. Be prepared for anything. Take good care of my body. Rest, recovery, good nutrition. Most of all, enjoy what I'm doing, otherwise, its not worth doing.
They just released the wave starts for New Orleans 70.3. The race is huge! There are 23 waves. And guess what wave w40-44 are in? yep, wave 23! The race starts with the pros going off at 7am, and I start at 8:30! I'm going to have to come up with a strategy to deal with this mentally, because this really bums me out to be starting 90 minutes after the start of the race.
I walked the dogs this morning, everything back to our normal routine. I fell on some black ice, and mashed my left thumb into the pavement. Its not working quite right now, hopefully it will not stay like this for long. I don't want to go back to work, but its going to be 60 degrees here today, so I don't have too much to complain about. Life is pretty good.

Wow, there are going to be a lot of people at that race. I downloaded the start list and it has over 3100 names. Fortunately my wave starts at 7:24, so not too bad. I think it's going to be a crazy draft fest on the bike though.
SO I just looked again, and my start time is 7:44...oh well, and it's after the relays...WTF?
exactly - I see no reason to the order of the waves. And that is way too many!
