Race came early for Jodee and I as our alarms went off at 3:30am.
We got up and I had my usual race day meal of oatmeal with protein, banana and some brown sugar. (Why break tradition now, right?)
We ate, got dressed and grabbed our wetsuits and morning clothes drop bag and headed over to the Monona Terrace Convention Center. Everything would be centered around Monona Terrace. Our swim would take place in Lake Monona, our bikes were "racked" on the top level of the parking ramp, our bike and run clothes were in rooms in the convention center and we would be changing inside the convention center as well.
After filling our water bottles on our bikes and checking our tires, etc. we met up with my dad and talked a bit before putting on our wetsuits, dropping our morning clothes bags and heading down to the lake. As we walked down the "helix" (spiral down ramp) of the parking ramp, the size of the crowd was unreal. As we walked to the water's edge...it all became very real.
