We left Chicago at 4:15 a.m. Submerged into Lake Monona by 8 a.m., along with tons of other athletes to swim one loop (1.2 miles). Then, we registered...which included lots of lines & frequent photo ID checks. We received 2 bibs - first name & last name. At 5:45 p.m., we returned to Monona Terrace for a typical carb-heavy dinner (too much garlic...repercussions to come!) We listened to several speakers and were inspired by music, personal stories and videos. One interesting statistic, this year the woman's field added 10 more athletes from last year's event totaling 658 woman. Go GIRLS!
It's 10 p.m. We're trying to pack our multiple bags! We've separated our gear into T1 (swim to bike) and T2 (bike to run) bags. Our obsession with weather.com has made us loopy. So, we keep questioning and rethinking our gear choices.
Thanks everyone! We appreciate your supportive calls, text messages, emails and posts.
