Well, Saturday morning came and went without any trips to the hospital, which is good.  I completed the race in about the time I expected. 1:33... about 9 minutes slower than when I ran the same course in 2006 (two weeks before THE day).  Keep in mind, however, I have several reasons (... excuses, I guess) as to why the time was slower: I was not planning on running until about a month ago; it was really windy; the swim was full of weeds; it was only the 3rd outdoor ride on my new bike; and due to prior history, I took my time during the transitions and water stops on the run to make sure I was properly hydrated and cooled off..... anything else?..... oh yeah, I'm out of shape and I'm a good 15 lbs heavier than I was in 2006.... so there you go.
