All packed and ready to go !!!!!
Three more days to go... all packed and ready to go!!
I have absolutely no idea what to expect, yet it's all part of the excitement and adventure! I do know that the scenery will be simply stunning. The most scenic race I've ever done I'm sure.
What I'm most looking forward to about the race:
I'm looking forward to the new never before seen scenery and the unexpected adventure.
Race worries:
I no longer need to worry about the mind numbing cold water, I've heard the glacier lake has warmed up to 15 degrees Celsius.
Of course there is always the worry of a mechanical issue on the bike, but I try not to think about that!
What's in my bag:
Swim : orca wetsuit
Nineteen booties
Skull cap : blue seventy ( I may still wear booties/cap despite the warmer water. You are not a true Canadian unless you complain about being too cold or too hot ;)
Goggles: AquaSphere
Tri kit: Louis Garneau
Bike : specialized transition
Helmet : specialized
Run: Asics (my first pair of Asics )
Fuel: Carbo pro
Hammer gels
Power bar gel chews and power bars
What I'm most looking forward to about Iceland besides the beautiful scenery:
- drinking the best tasting water I've ever tasted right out of the tap
- no mosquitos!
-having my camera in hand, photographing all night long under the midnight sunWhat I will miss:
It's our first race without our kids greeting us at the finish line.
I already miss my two cuties, but I'm sure they will be having the time of their life at camp while Mom and Dad play too!
~ I can't wait to race with an amazing group of people, doing what they love, and have fun!! ~
See you soon Iceland!
