At Muskoka

The ride up was perfect as it was uneventual.  When we arrived transition was partially set up, the bike and run in/outs were up as was the finish chute.  Jeff & I headed to D'Ornellas the course mechanics to have them check out Jeff's rim.  A bit of truing up and its ready for the race.  D'Ornellas bike shop is located in Scarborough and many people in our tri group purchase their bikes from Eon.  In a few days after the race After the racie I'll put  tri bars on my bike and anticipate before the 2014 race season a tri bike will accompany my road and hybrids.  Hmm I'll need a little bike hut in the backyard to get them out Barry's way in the garage.  I have only heard great things about this bike shop and seriously thinking about purchasing it from them.

We lucked out as we received the call my room was ready as we were at the main building. We dropped off my stuff, headed to the Ironman store and to register.  With all that done we have the evening to ourselves and the next step is waiting for transition to open up at 11am tomorrow.  Between now and then we need to keep our spirits high as we wait for this storm to pass - its raining cats and dogs.  Now I remember why I did not like my satellite dish up in Almonte - yep no TV and I forgot my books.

For some reason I decided to sign up using my big name. I must have been thinking it was a serious enough event to warrant it.  On the plus its like having my Dad, Mom, my brother, and Grandparents along for the ride as they are about the only ones who call me that name.
