The World Cup has kicked off! The first game is in the books and the host country stepped up and managed a tie in the opening game. Congratulations to South Africa for a nice performance in their first game on the big stage. It seems like agggggeeeeessss ago since I lived there but there is definitely some pride in how they were able to hang with a more skilled opponent today.
On a different note, we are in Boise. We pushed through the rain in Montana and then the skies opened in Idaho. We ended up getting in at about 1 a.m. and promptly tried to get some zzzzzzzz's. We woke up to a beautiful sunny blue sky in Boise. Erin has already been out and done her final shortie run and bike before the big event tomorrow. The swim-->bike transition sounds like it is in a different place than the bike--->run transition. It seems like a weird set up (especially for trying to collect your transition belongings later), but I am sure Erin will figure it all out as she goes through check in today and unlocks all the details.
I will most likely go check in for my event later this evening too - also need to spend a little time doing some maintenance but fortunately, there is not much to do on a single-speed. It is just a matter of making sure the chain is relatively tight & lubed. The biggest part of prepping will be showing up tomorrow a.m. to lay out the cooler and sustenance/food for the day. Then it is just a matter of showing up and riding. The plan is to ride the race until it finishes at 5, then mosey on over to catch the finish of Erin's tri. It sounds like a good plan...
