Made it to the hotel, got all the gear, etc, and now just relaxing a bit before dinner.  Danielle and I drove about 3/4 of the course - definitely more hilly than I'm used to, but no huge monsters or anything.  Danielle is getting nervous!  She's doing her first full but is dealing with a tendon issue.

Looking at the weather, we might catch a break and not get rained on too horribly.  There's also a good chance of temps in the upper 40s, maybe even the whole race!  Wind will be there, but it is probably the only enemy out there at this point.  Just gotta suck it up the first half and maybe accept some off-pace miles when the wind gets angry. 

I'll get a report up late Sunday night.  In the meantime my bib # is 299 if any anyone wants to look it up beforehand.
