Today was a long day. The Grande Americanos woke up at 430 AM in Seattle and drove the 2hr+ to the ferry terminal south of Vancouver. At the ferry terminal we met our friends Andy, Sara and Aaron who joined us on our journey to Vancouver Island where the race was to start in less than 24hrs. Once we arrived on the island we made our way to the race venue and the startline for the next day's race. Lots of very (and I mean very) fit people walking around the venue. We ran into our friends (Robin, Justin, John, Steve, Jay, Chris) also registering for the race. It's always a good time when so many people you know are doing a race. After registering, we went for a quick ride to get a sense of what was to come the following day. We rode about the first 4 miles of the course and the singletrack we found was sketchy to say the least. Then it was off to the hotel, a quick shower, proper grooming inlcuding ample application of my hair product, the mandatory pre-race meeting, then back to the hotel and bed @10PM.
