Who, What, Where, When, How, Seriously??? #1

We met with one of our training partners, Alison, tonight to discuss all of the logistics of the special needs bags, transitions, race week planning, etc. We came armed with our Athlete Guide and questions. Alison spent 2+ hours with us having dinner and allowing us to ask all of the IM newbie questions that she was asking last year. I compare it to sort of cramming for an exam. You have your foundation of knowledge but you have to squeeze in the little details that could totally change the outcome of the test.

This goes in the blue bag...that is a morning bag...you'll put this on during the bike...you shouldn't eat for this many minutes after swimming....the list goes on. We also watched an IMAZ race preview that was forwarded to us by the tri club we're a part of. Tonight was very informative. I continue to remind myself that I am in Tempe to COMPLETE not COMPETE. More updates forthcoming as the race day draws nearer and nearer. Happy Training!
