Day 3 & 1.2 mile swim!

It was a pretty nice day today. We started with breakfast with some of the North American staff. Then I went out for an easy swim. Ending up doing the entire swim course (just one loop), so I got in a nice 1.2 miles. I was only suppose to be out there for 30 minutes, but the water was so nice! I took it easy and stopped at each buoy, and took in the area.
After our swim, Corey and I had lunch with Julie (another NAS staff person whom I adore!) I had the best Grouper Sandwich...Yummy! Then I went out with my men and drove the bike course. You know, 112 miles is a LONG WAY! We had fun driving the course and I am really glad I did. It's not totally flat as we were told. There are about 20 miles of nice rollers and two nice hills we have to climb. There is one section that is desperate need of repair, but we calculated it to be only 15 miles. No shoulders on the course, and it is open to traffic. SO, it will be fun! NOT boring!!

I came back home and Corey was hanging out on the beach with Kelley and Sabina. We are now in our condo, getting ready for dinner. Tonight is the welcome dinner and athlete meeting...tomorrow the count-down really begins!


We had a morning breakfast with some of my favorite Staff of NAS. From Left; Grahm(owner), Paula Newby-Fraiser (Winningest Ironman in history, and CEO of NAS), Heather Fuhr (2nd in most Ironman wins & my coach), Michael Lovato (yes...the man that I LUST over...oh he's also a Pro), ME, and Jimmy Ricatello (yes, he's grabbing Michaels boob! He is also a former Pro-MTB racer, Xterra and current head referee for USAT)

That's Scott with Fuel belt. He just came in from a swim and was telling me how big the BatRays were.








Picture of BatRays! There were 4 of them playing in the waves, near the shore line!
