YIKES - 4 days out!

Patrick and I made it to Wisconsin today. And I can tell you... just like my initial thought in Canada... EVERYONE IS FIT AND INTIMIDATING! Yikes! We left OC and a tough looking woman with an Ironman Backpack and tattoo was next to us. Patrick and I did a double take and laughed. Then we get to Wisconsin, and people outside our hotel look like they came out of the advertisement from Triathlete Magazine.

Yup, Patrick and I continue to bicker. At least we can laugh about it. But we bickered about the plan when we got here, if we should get a GPS for the car, if we should tour the capitol when we are here... to name a few...

LOVE Madison... reminds me of Chico. Today we went to dinner at The Great Dane Bar and Grill (per the Sheraton hotel's recommendation) and I ordered ale beers and the richest pasta dish ever! After five bites I was done! Then we headed over to Genna's for another beer. I had "Capitol" ale... pretty good.

Anyway, tomorrow will be packed:
Wake up at 7am (that's 5am PCT!)
Run (20 mins)
Breakfast
Ironman Village.... to BUY OUT THE MERCHANDISING TENT!!!!
Pick up the bikes
Quick swim in the lake
Ride the run course
Check out the capitol
And maybe do the Duck Tour (amphibious tour)

Busy day, and getting more anxious and excited as the days go by. we are looking forward to the city picking up with more triathletes.

Off to bed... easy to sleep tonight... I've been exhausted lately!
