The Day before the BEAST.

Well, we are off to our pre-race meal down on the waterfront.
We unpacked the Blues and all was well with them. We went for a 20 min spin on them to ensure all was working. We rode the first few miles of the course and found that, although there are sections of new pavement (as new as last night!) the course is very rough in many places. It took a while to realize that riding in the LEFT hand lane was the proper lane to be in, as well and we pass on the right in this race....wonder how many times we will end up calling out "on your left" and actually pass on the right!!!!

We are all registered....and man, do they do it ISLAND style here....no ID, no weigh in...and the only technology we saw were the guys from Sportstats!!! We did see Craig Alexander..picking up his ride...waiting in line like everyone else!!!

The rest of the day comprised of the mandatory meeting, lunch, watching crabs walking on the pier and taking in all of the island air we could.

Transition is a 4 min walk away so we will be there at 5am to drop the bikes then back to our room to do the rest of the prep.

For those who wish to follow along, live updates are available on www.stcroixtriathlon.com
