Arrival in Arizona

I made it here...and all my gear made it. I was ridiculously paranoid my bag would get lost. Last night I meticulously divided all my gear into two groups:

1) carry-on - anything that was deemed 100% necessary to the race (pedals, tri shoes, etc)
2) checked back - anything that wasn't necessarily needed, but would REALLY suck if I didn't have.

Luckily, everything is here. I'm going to head down in the morning and get a swim in. I have a feeling that's when everything is going to really hit me, b/c it hasn't yet. I had a much easier time wrapping my head around running 50 miles than I have with the Ironman.

The camera is charging and I should have quite a bit of down time, so I have a feeling this blog will see a lot of action over the course of the next few days.

Btw - I am bib #393. You can track me on sunday on the Ironman Website.
