San Fran

Today started with a nice prerace ride to get out bearings and check out the hills.  The weather could not be better, not a cloud in the sky.  We did a lot of tourist things later in the day including Alcatraz, which gave us a good idea of what it will be like out on the boat.

Looking forward to the expo tomorrow and a morning swim in the bay.

The Sand Stairs await us

We made it here

Monday update

Travel plans are getting closer, and we are trying to work out the food options courtesy of a few of my coworkers who live in the Bay Area.  Looks like a lot of good choices, but we will be hitting up some Vietnamese, Chinese Dim Sum, and a few local seafood places as well.

Today was my last long swim effort, and everything from here on out will be easy.  Took 2700 meters at lunch a little under 50 minutes, so at that pace I will be looking around a 45 minute swim for 1.5 miles, which is what I am shooting for.  We shall see.
