Duck Bill Thrill starts Sunday at 8am in Eugene. That means I need to be at the race course at 6:30 to get my packet, prep transition and warm up before the race starts. Which means that I need to leave Portland by 4am at the latest to get there on time! Wow that's early! I'm getting all my stuff together today and tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon I'll be heading over to Athletes Lounge to pick up a neoprene cap to keep my head warm on the swim and a new set of goggles. I already have a set of gloves to keep my right hand warm. It might be really cold out there.
I'm going to try something different this race in an effort to reduce my T1 transition time. The last two were almost 5 mins long!! The plan is to wear my heart rate monitor, arm brace and top under the wetsuit. This should drastically reduce my transition time. Also I'm going to go sans gloves if its warm enough. Hoipefully this will put me closer to 2 mins instead of 5.
Finally Duck Bill is my first Olympic distance (1.5k/40k/10k) race post skiing accident and I'm a little nervous about it. Now to get back to work and fit in hair cut, yoga, swimming, running and church into the rest of my day. Looks like I'll be working some tomorrow.
