I’ve got 4 days left until my big race. Yikes.. I hope I’ve done enough training. According to my records, I’ve swam 23.18 miles, biked 271.04 miles, and ran 113.52 miles… which probably isn’t anywhere near enough… but, I guess there’s nothing I can really do about it now.. eep.

I’m excited and nervous about the whole thing — in particular the 1.5 mile swim from Alcatraz to the city… Hopefully it will be calm and glassy. The weather forecast for Sunday is partly cloudy with a high of 61… Anyway, Sunday morning, I’ll be boarding the ferry to Alcatraz at 4:15am, and at 7am, I’ll be joining 1,600 racers as we all jump into the bay..

So, here’s a cool thing — if you want to track my progress during Sunday’s race, Accenture (the main sponsor) has set up a site where you can get alerts (either via email or text or voice call..) whenever I finish the swim, bike, and run.. Neat. I’m aiming for 1:00 swim, 1:00 bike, 1:30 run.. but we’ll see… I’m gonna be super happy just to finish..
