Oh man the river water is so dirty from all the rain and runoff. It looks like Chocalate milk. They weren't letting anyone swim today and frankly, I wasn't interested. There was all kinds of scum, trash, and sticks standing on the surface in the starting area. The swim is straight and the water warm. No wetsuits. Pretty straight forward.
I did run part of the course today and looked at the hills. I will need to revise my goal time a bit. This course is every bit as tough as Wildflower if not more and it's supposed to be sunny and in the mid 80's. I also have the worst transition spot possible. If I come it under 2:20, I'll be happy.
I truly believe this race will be won or lost on the run and this is a runners race. The swim and bike are fairly standard. The run will be brutal in the heat and it will take a super human effort on part to pull a 44:00!
The heat is cruel here. Every time the sun poked through today it was stifling.
Tired and not in an emotional state to post much more. Wish I was.
Good luck to everyone else tomorrow.
