Should be is, of course, the plan/hope.
Reality could be different. V E R Y different.
I'm not racing as well this year as I was last year. (Stubborn pounds that won't go away and mediocre training add up to lousier finish times...).
BUT I am out there and having fun, which counts for A LOT.
I'll break in the new bike tomorrow too.
I've ridden it a number of times already and really like it. It will be fun to race in it and not have to worry about things like:
- stop signs
- idiot pedestrians that walk on to bike paths without looking
- little kids that ALWAYS turn to look when you call out "On your Left", which causes them to steer LEFT
The weather is supposed to cooperate -- high in the low 80s. If this holds, it will be the first LTF tri I've done where it wasn't the hottest day of the summer.
The bottom line for now is I'm excited, nervous and dreading the event all at once.
I'll be getting over to the Expo in a few hours and then on my way home to get my bag ready, carbo load and to "sleep".

#1 Enjoy yourself.
#2 Have a great race---you can rock it.
Good luck! I bet you are going to have a blast on that new bike. Hey, the weather has to be better than Rochester, and the road has to be flatter. You'll do great!
