Preparations

Imodium-Check, Inhaler-Check, Numbing, SwampJuice Cream-Check, Drugs-Check, Ipod-check& Chiropractor. I don't know what else to do to prepare for this race. It will be good to have it over with! I think that I will work on a little mental preparation. It has been quite a process to prepare for the race.

This weekend my brother Zach is graduating from dental school, and then moving next week to Memphis to start Ortho school. We are so proud of him! We wish that we could be there to see him graduate!

Heidie is heading to Bear Lake on Sat. to do the Bear Lake Classic. I feel a little sad that I am not going. I love to ride my bike and will miss doing the race with her. But I am crossing something off my bucket list, and I am excited to be able to do it with my sister Kris. She has had to promise to leave me when things start to hurt on me!

Shane is coming down to the race. He has so kindly offered to get up at 4 am to drive Kris and I to the bus that will take us to the start line! Hopefully it will be a respectable finish so that Shane won't die of embarrassment!
