arrival de cozumel

day before race - the nerves have set in, i've quieted down (yes this is possible), and i've retreated to the poolside for some alone time.

the trip here was uneventful which is exactly what i planned for.  i met the crew at denver airport and we flew into cozumel together.  if you have never stood along baggage claim with a bunch of triathletes waiting for their bikes i don't reccomend it, its not a pretty site, especially when your groups bikes are literally the last 7 out of the airplane.

the resort is incredible.  hot tub, literally in the room, hammock on said balcony, and an endless pool with food and drink service throughout 24 hours.  what ironman?!?

we swam and did a practice ride yesterday, and a practice swim today at 7.  i felt great on the bike and the jelly fish seemed to have stung everyone but me.  i'm not thinking to clearly at the moment so this update is short.  my apologies.  thank you all once again for your guidence, support, and letting me belivie in what i always think is the impossible.  tomorrow i'll swim, ride and run for all of you as i continue to "trust my struggle"
