Dear Team
Here we are representing RTB. All seems to be going well. Nancy & Brian got to swim with the dolfins Yesterday, how COOL is that. There were sea turtles out there also. Today they got to swim out and have coffee at their turn around spot, how's that for another cool thing.
Tuesday we drove the bike course and is it ever a long long way to the turn around point. I have always driven the race course prior to race day but I have NEVER appreciated the 112 miles as I always only looked at one of the two laps. On a one lapper it changed my perspective totally. For you Ironmen who have done onelappers it would be no surprise, but for support staff it is Eye opening.
We have seen a lot of Ironmen that seem to be working really hard during this week - does not seem to be in any training plan I have read. Nancy and Brian are staying within their training plans. They will do RTB proud. When Nancy was out doing her hour bike ride several of the pros were out there and trying to figure out who RTB was. Do not look behind you they may just be sneaking up on you.
The swim course as a one lapper is awesome also as you cannot see the turn marker from shore. Nancy, Brian and Tracy swam today and Tracy wished she had swam the other 2 days, the water is so cool.

Well, hereI am Dogless and being a grateful support staff. How else could I, a blue hair, get to KONA??
We'll touch base tomorrow after the tearful Nancy and P2C separation Occurs.
