Today the we woke up, geared up and headed out the door to bike the run course. It was Roy, Donald (both from Ellsworth) and I. It was cold and I was under dressed but I am glad that we did this ride. The last few miles of the out and back were a little different than my Ironman and it was good to see the hills and course. After the ride I attended the pre race meeting and got all checked in for the race. This year turned out to be the 20th anniversary of the race. The Ellsworth crew set up the booth and waited for the crowds of people. The expo always gets crazy for a few hours and Ellsworth got some great exposure. They have mostly been in the mountain bike game but are coming on strong in the road and
TT world.Mid day I headed down to the swim start and swam about 600 meters. This is a great swim course as the wat
er is always smooth and half of the swim is down stream... which also means that half is upstream but it's the first half, so your fresh. The other really good thing is if you are not a strong swimmer you can swim close to the banks of the river and stand up at any time!The rest of the afternoon was spent at the expo in the Ellsworth booth followed by a nice Mexican dinner! Off to bed... tomorrow we dance.... again.
