My body feels good and I'm getting there mentally. In addition the weather looks like it's going to cooperate. The current forecast is for tempeatures in the low 70's which is a relief after the past two years with tempeatures in the mid to upper 90's.
I got my bike tuned this week and spent part of today taking few of a few minor improvements; ensuring my rear bottle holder was locked down tight as I it had been loose and rattling, I replaced the grip tape on the drop bars and added non skid to the brake bars. The bike is ready.
I spent part of the day beginning to go through my checklist of items I need for race day. Triathlon pretty simple right you swim, bike and run well think again;
- Bike Shoes
- Bike Helment
- Arm Warmers
- CO2 cartridges (air for tires)

.......did I forget anything? I'm sure I'll be double checking my list this week. A couple more short workouts this week to keep the body loose and my muscles firing. I'm hoping I'll have more posts this week from Coeur d'Alene.
