Hello from Galveston! The last month or so has seemed a bit surreal, as we have lived a lot of it on the road and out of suitcases! I do have to say -- it has been a lot of fun so far! We are really enjoying it! From our road trip to Vegas and now to Galveston (and on to The Woodlands at the end of the month!), we are having trouble remembering what hotel we're in or what our room number is!
So, now we are in Galveston for the Ironman 70.3 half triathlon! Chris is sooooo ready! We got into town yesterday and went to the Athlete Village. Chris checked in and got his race packet, and then we attended a mandatory athlete meeting where they went over rules, gave tips, etc. We checked out some of the course, including the start line, where he'll come out of the water, the transition area, etc. We'll be going out later today to check in his bike.
From there, we checked in to our hotel, and then after he did a quick, easy workout, we walked along the seawall and had dinner at Jimmy's. It was a fun place right on the water -- our waiter was great, the food was delicious, and we were able to walk their pier afterwards. It was super windy, and it's super humid here. But it was a lovely evening together.
Today, Chris did another easy workout and then we had breakfast at the hotel. We walked across the street and sat watching the waves roll in for awhile. It's one of my very favorite sounds. Now we are relaxing in the room and he is getting all of his stuff organized for tomorrow. Between 1:00 and 5:00, we'll go check in his bike. It's currently raining, but it supposed to be clear tomorrow.
Fun times!! We are ready to see how tomorrow unfolds!! We'll be up bright and early to get a parking spot, get him all set up, etc. His swim wave begins at 8:08 a.m. There are 21 waves at the swim start line and he is in the 18th.
Let's do this!!
