Getting ready for Wasa Lake Tri 2010
I started making the trek from Victoria to Kimberley, BC last night with Tyler Duncan. Drive to Nanimo, ferry to North Van, sleep on cat hair couch, have allergic reaction/can’t sleep. Have good idea, which I write down. Read race materials. Return to couch. Sleep? Wake. Coffee. Add food = semi-human. Get driving through the city, driving through satellite cities, driving through farm land/valleys, gas warning light. Gas stop, snack, driving through mountains. Realization that not enough coffee has been consumed: stop. Coffee. Driving through devastated forests (pine beetles and forest fires), catching glimpses of many homes once surrounded by woods now surrounded by ash trees and dead wood. Think apocalyptically. Drive east. Tell stories, mostly true. Stop. Eat sushi. Drive east. One more coffee and a doughnut to boot (sorry coach!). Drive. Turn south. Pass the place where Laura and I honeymooned. Reminisce and enjoy. Drive. Stop. Arrive. Unpack. Supper. Tally up things forgotten. Add to tomorrow’s to-do list. Get ready to race.
Life is good. Wasa Olympic Triathlon in 34 hours.
