Have fun. Weather is terrible here. I saw the forecast was for 90 for the CDA. Drink lots of fluids.

Make sure you get some pictures of the peacocks out on Sherman. Lots of people out there doing everything they can to make sure you know they are there for the race. The guy walking out of the toy store wearing his complete race kit was pretty good, but my favorite duo were the two guys cruising down the road with loaded bottle launchers in back, aero drink systems in front, and power gel already taped to the frame.

Have you been to Kona during IMH week? Its hilarious.

I was out for a run along the lake today (I'm a CdA local). There seemed to be three distinct groups out riding (oddly, virtually nobody was running...)

1 - Obvious out-of-town IM athletes cruising the course effortlessly at 20mph.

2 - Local posers mashing away at 16mph trying to look fast -- complete with Aero helmets, bottle launchers, etc.

3 - (This was the surprising one.) Tons more locals on mountain bikes and cruisers than usual for a midday thursday. It's as if seeing all the IM guys in town has finally inspired the sedentary masses to get off their sofas and exercise -- nice to see!

Make sure you all give a good shout out to #727 for me, something along the lines of
"Go King Klyde" would be perfect...

Take it back! I don't even own an aero helmet.

Mike, you're killin me! I wish I were there. Do you think you can train this creaky old clyde one more time for next year? I've been throwing out the hints to my wife that cda next year would be a cool 50th birthday gift.

I joined the "local poser" ranks too today (sans aero helmet) -- if you see a tall skinny slow guy on a Black Titanflex, please don't laugh, just wave and say hi!

PS -- lots more runners today than yesterday. (Hmmmm...)

Hey Paul,

always room for you. It looks like it is going to be a great day for the race. Cool water, light breeze and nice and warm for the run.

I hope everyone has a great time out there and a safe race.
