I went to class today we talked about elbow problems and decided that I definitely have one. I have lateral laxity, possible ligament damage and very tight scar tissue around my lateral epicondyle. My classmates and instructor agree with my assessment that I should get through the Ironman and then get it looked at. There is no gross problem and it shouldn't impact my performance for the weekend but I don't want to let it go forever.
After class I went down to pick up my bike from Hampton. It is very shinny and fast. It feels amazing. I rode my bike up to the expo and checked in and bought some gels. I bought 1 cool mint and 3 coffee. I don't like cool mint but I figured that I might need a change of flavour mid race. After buying the gels I opened my bag to find that I got 2 free cool mint gels. Fail!
Becki and I went out for lunch and drinks while Bruce got a massage. Then I sent them home by tram and beat them by 20minutes biking.
We had plans to grill things for dinner but were foiled when we realised that Kat still has the hose that connects the gas to the grill. We made do, fairly well I must say, using the oven instead.
Then I started organising my stuff for the race. I am so excited that this year's bags are nicer than last year's bags so that I can use them after the race.
People have been asking me if I'm nervous. I am not. I am going to spend all day Sunday doing 3 sports that I love and I'm gonna look mighty good doing it. What else do I need?
