going off the grid

This is it. We are going off the grid. We have checked in all our gear, we have napped, we have had a family/team meeting (three cheers for everyone who drove and flew out to be here!) and we are now, going off the grid. I will not be on line until Monday or more likely Tuesday but wanted to update you quickly on our status.

We are all stable. We are all nervous and have butterflies in our bellies (NOT A SURPRISE!). But we all also feel eager to get out there and get this show on the road. It's time to rumble, let's get this party started!!!!

The weather is a bit temperamental, we have been on pins and needles all week as the forecast flips between sun and thunderstorms. Currently it seems that we will have sun and clear skies until 3:00 and then possible scattered showers until midnight. We are happy with this outcome and pleased that the temps will not be over 75 degrees.

So, thanks again for everything. Couldn't do this without you, your great jokes, love, laughter, understanding, wine, food, and encouragement. This is what it's all about. I can't wait to blog about all of the trials and joys of race day. Inparticular I cannot wait to write about what it feels like to hear "Jennifer, you ARE an Ironman'". Hugs all around!!!!!

GO IRONMAN!!!!!!!!!!
