Made it to the race site today: Panama City Beach, FL. Went through registration, picking up my swimcap, race numbers and timing chip, among other materials. Panama City Beach is a nice little town on the 'panhandle' of Florida with lots of friendly locals and miles and miles of white sand beachfront along the Gulf of Mexico.
Also picked up my bike which I had shipped down for ease of transport. And then went out for a 15 mile ride and felt fairly good given that I hadn't ridden my tri-bike in about a week. Tried to go for a run, but that middle toe on my left foot was a little aggravated, so I skipped it.
Kept busy through the rest of the evening with some grocery shopping, cooking and eating, and well, just relaxing. Tomorrow will go for a practice swim, prepare my bike, and then assemble all my gear together for each stage of race day: pre-race, swim, transition 1, bike, transition 2, run, post-race. Tomorrow night will also attend a welcome dinner hosted by the race organizers for all the athletes, usually an entertaining evening...
Ok, will post again soon with a review of my training.
