Realized I needed to pick up my race packet today, but misread the information, so arrived 3 hours before scheduled time. SO, instead of driving 35-45 minutes back home, then back again in the evening, I went to the mall 10 minutes away and got some See's candy. They know me there.
Then, I went to the apple store and had a splendid time talking to a store rep for an hour about buying an iPhone 5, which lead to me finding out that he did his first triathlon last year, the same one I did and am doing. He is very interested in my pool and is going to look at it on my blog and let me know if he wants to come give it a try. He said I could write a blog post about it when he does. He's a swimmer, so it would be fun to get his take on it.
It was still early, but I decided to go back to the store for packet pick-up a bit early. It turns out they were all set up and I was about their 3rd customer. To top it all off, I got to meet and chat with the race director at his information table out front. He is a very nice gentleman, probably in his 70s and it made me feel better about the race just talking to him some about the course and logistics.
Thus, I made it home in time to process some green beans for the freezer while I nibbled on my candy. Okay, big nibbles.
Thought about swimming when I got home, but felt like it would stress me out if I did, so I guess that's it until Saturday. We do have a wedding to go to tomorrow night. I hope they understand that I can't stay late! Wake-up Saturday morning is 4:30 AM!
