Another beautiful day began with a 5:30AM wake up call, and a 30-minute training run. It was perfect, although, one can feel the the effects of higher elevation here. Henderson is at about 1,700 feet, while the Upper Valley, NH, at 560 feet above the sea level. Yes, the air is thinner, for sure.
Today's agendum has been relaxing. A morning breakfast in the Silverman Village, and a chat with Dave "The Man" Scott took care of the morning routines. For those who do not know Dave, he is one of the Ironman triathlon racing icons, with six wins, three second places, and a fifth, when he was in his forties. This year, Dave had a serious biking accident, after which he ended up with several metal pins in his wrists.
In a little while I will be taking my bike and transition bags to the swim start. All has to be in by 6PM. I feel relaxed with my feet on a chair, as I write this update from the Panera headquarters. So, this may be it until Monday. But then, who knows.
