Resting, Dinner and WildFlower

Ok, so I have been a bit tardy with my updates. Not much has been going on in the training department. With Wildflower this weekend it is time to rest. The legs feel good so I am hoping for a good day on Cinco De Mayo!
The most exciting thing lately is picking up some new gear from my sponsors. I met up with Erik from Oakley and was set up with a sweet new pair of the Radars and the Flak Jacket. Both pair are awesome and the lenses have a new hydrophobic coating that keep water and sweat off the lenses. I also picked up a new race top from Descente. They have been great to me and the new top looks fantastic. I am stoked to have the new stuff in time for race day.
The race should be a fun time. I am in an RV with a bunch of people from RaceAthlete, Nuun, Zipp and other places. We have a total of 4 RV's rented, and around 20 people. Good times are sure to come. I will be hanging out at the Kuota booth and meeting up with Paul Thomas, the VP of Sales for Kuota. Plus, I will get to meet Laurent from SBR Organization. Check them out for your next tri travel plans.
Other than that, it's been pretty mellow here. On Saturday we had some friends over to celebrate their great races at IM Arizona. I invited Kelly, Steve and Scott over. They were other three people that I did the Tucson training camp with.Kelly was the top AG woman, and 4th overall! Scott had a solid day coming in at just under eleven and a half, and while Steve didn't have the race he wanted, he still finished and did the Tucson crew proud. There was plenty of food, beer and wine for all.
There is still some last minute packing for me, so I will sign off for now. When I get back from Wildflower I will type up a full race report. Until then, stay focused and be productive.

Cheers,

AJ
