It would be hard to imagine a more perfect day for the Seafair Triathlon. Here I am coming into the finish - Drake caught this shot - notice Mt. Rainier in the background (in front of me).

Finish

My race number: 200

Drake and I went and picked up my race packet, I got body-marked, and then we went over to the race site. They were in the process of setting up racks in the transition area and putting port-a-potties out; I was hoping more would be set up so I could get a sense of what the transition area flow is going to be like. That will have to wait until tomorrow morning. I plan, as usual, to get to the transition area right when it opens - in this case 5:15 - so I'll have plenty of time to think that through. Drake is really a good sport about all this - despite some good-natured eye-rolling about leaving the house at 4:45 on a Sunday morning.

Today was my last "regular" workout leading up to Sunday's Seafair Triathlon. I'm now in mini-taper mode, with a 20-minute run tomorrow, off on Friday, and a super-short swim-bike-run on Saturday. It feels good to be through the high-volume training I did last week.

I feel ready and excited for the race.
