The forecast for tomorrow looks like rain. Not the best racing weather. The hope is the rain will hold out until the afternoon during the run, we'll see. It has rained all day today, it was pouring last night, and the skies don't look blue in any direction. Little do they know this gives Jim and advantage since he trained in all our liquid sunshine this spring and early summer, what there was of either of them.
We spent today looking for a rain jacket for the ride, we obviously didn't prepare for Portland weather in Europe. So far we've had only a few sunny days, most grey and overcast or raining. We found a jacket in town, hoping the purchase of it will bring out the sun tomorrow. For once please let bad luck shopping be on our side.
I'll have my Blackberry on me tomorrow so if you want to send any good luck messages for me to pass on to Jim prior to/during the race send them my way. If you are watching the race on Ironman.com look for the "Good Luck Jim" banner Paul made, it will be making its public debut tomorrow, I'll post a photo, too.
Remember to check Ironman.com tomorrow to track Jim's progress, bib number 1078, the race starts at 7 a.m. here, 10 p.m. at home.
Think good thoughts and send lots of luck.
