The pre-race dinner on Thursday night - the incredible Adam "Mr. 140.6" is on the immediate right.

Race gear! Plenty of selection!

I love the updates. Thanks for taking time from your mental prep to keep us up to date on what is going on.

Say hi to Bold for me!!

I have confidence that you will rock that course tomorrow. Best of luck, I will be thinking about you and all of the other competitors.

Iron Pol collapses under pressure from the bar being set by Nancy (and Comm, BTW). I'm going to have to kidnap a laptop with wireless, take the camcorder for downloaded video, and somehow hook up satellite wireless for "on the road" updates.

Awesome pics.

Hope it stays cool for you guys. I'll be checkin' in all day tomorrow. I'm so excited for you all!!!

I recognized Ellie -- haven't met the others. It's hard to work with a new Internet connection and still get photos to work, and the Blogger software is cumbersome for inserting captions at the best of times. Nancy did a great job providing those of us who are following at a distance with some pictures.

At 1014 hours Eastern, I logged onto the tracking system and found that Nancy had completed the swim in 1:57 and a little. That didn't seem like a fast time to me but I can't find her list of goal times for each leg, so I'm just guessing. Anyway, she's out of the water and into T1 (at least). The tracking system seems to be working fairly well, since I make it just 2:14 after the start that I first got a reading.

Go Nancy!
