In Preparation

I wish I had started packing earlier...I feel like I say this every time I go on vacation/race.  And this time it's both so double whammy.


Here's the Andrea list for Placid:

• Get a "once over" on the bike, and practice flat changing.  Thanks Kev, we had a great Friday night filled with pizza and bike grease.  
• Hit Costco and liquor store with Mom.  
• Organize paperwork.
• Pack tri gear - double of everything and anything you could think of needed to swim, bike and run.
• Get bike to Doreen.  Since I'm not driving the Suby, she was kind enough to transport the Ruby.  (No time to clean it, will have to do up there).
• Get a mani/pedi.  Had to, with some special flare (IM logo) and black of course (to be hardcore)!

• Organize food, kitchen supplies & purchase what needed at Target.  
• Do laundry, blah.
• Pack tri clothing - a surplus, totally ridiculous.
• Pack regular clothing and everything else (an after thought).
• Double check everything!
• Leave Thursday am for Lake Placid!!! :)
