OK, when I signed up to do a late May triathlon, I was imagining a certain type of day. The triathlon in my imagination was sunny at 65 degrees. Today, however, was cold, rainy and in the high 40s/low 50s. Brrr. If this weather holds, Sunday will require significantly more attention to clothing issues (e.g. jackets, running tights, etc.) than previously anticipated.
I'm also feeling a little overwhelmed in general by the various stages of this event. The day before the race we have to drop off our bikes, plus our "transition" items -- both for "T1" (swim to bike) and T2 (bike to swim). I'm filled with what are probably pretty silly questions. Like ... what do you wear on your feet between the pool and your bike? Everyone talks about putting your shoes on at the bike. But surely you're not barefoot running through the parking lot. Right?
In other news ... did I mention that Fish & Game reported at least one "feasting bear" on the grounds of Bartlett High School last weekend. I hope they're not feasting on slow runners.....
