2 weeks ago on my flight coming home from New York I helped a lady lift her bag into the over head bin, doing so I pulled a neck muscle, you know the one, where you can't move your head back and forth quite right for a couple of days.  Well for some reason it decided to start acting up again last night from giving my 4 year old a shoulder ride, so I had a terrible nights sleep trying to find a comfortable position for my head.  I was quite happy when it was finally time to wake up this morning.  The airlines should make a rule that if you can lift your own bag into the overhead bin you need to check it.

Plan was to swim, so I swam, easy 1600 meters.  Swimming unlike biking and running is something you forget how to do if you haven't done it for a while,  it took me about 6 laps before I got the rhythm right.

Good news, my legs feel totally sore free, probably the best my legs have ever felt the day before a race,  hopefully my neck problem isn't an issue, luckily I don't run on my neck.  I've also had stomach problems lately when I try to run fast, not sure why but the acid really builds up and makes me sick.  I'll just have to watch what I eat really closely today.

Swim Miles: 1.00

"luckily i don't run on my neck."

ha! great line...

i am glad your legs are feeling good. i was reading through the AF canyon race reports and it appears this course is even faster than i thought. you'll be rockin and rollin on it tomorrow. see you in the morning.

Yeah, I PM'd Walter for some advice. He kind of got me scared how steep it is. Should be fun though, lots of PR's. Maybe faster than Hobble Creek.
