We're Here!
We are officially in the land of Ironman - walking on the hallowed ground where it will all happen in 5 days! The last 2 days have been a blur... coming home from the Beachbody Summit in Nashville on Sunday (totally high from that whole deal), unpacking and re-packing, and traveling to Boulder yesterday. We're renting a house, which was the perfect choice (thanks to Scott, the family travel agent). After spending some time having lunch and relaxing at the St. Julien Hotel and Spa when we arrived (the house wasn't available til 4) we headed to the house, unpacked, and went straight to Whole Foods! The world is just a better place when there's food in the frig. :) We had dinner with Scott's cousin Tracy - who recently completed the Lake Placid IM and is doing Boulder on Sunday... talk about a beast! After a little walk on Pearl Street (can't wait to go back there) and the "there's-no-way-Madison-and-I-are-coming-out-west-without-getting-Rocky-Mountain-apples" stop at the chocolate factory for Apple Pie and Butterfinger caramel apples, we walked back to the house and pretty much crashed and burned! Scott will be doing a short swim and run training today, and I think the plan is to put his bike together. As you can see from the pics, the bike travels in an awesome bag that was a gift from Scott's buddies, and part of yesterday's training was lining up his footwear, water bottles, and various other stuff. Trust me, as anal as this might appear, you ain't seen nothing yet! Wait til the photos the day before race day!
