We're in Cohasset!

Team Perry is gathering in Cohasset. Janet, Bill, Tom, and Kathy arrived yesterday (Thursday). Eileen and her family will arrive later today. Meghan lives an hour away and will be coming and going. Julia is the team Cohasset resident and host for the big race on Sunday. Julia, Janet, Bill and Tom tested the water shortly after arriving on Thursday and much to our surprise, found it warmer than expected. The short work out was encouraging! We then drove the bike course, and found it to be a tad bumpy with all the road/utility work going on; and as such, one might consider it a bit technically challenging. We'll ride it today and see first hand. The race venue is charmingly picturesque and almost a distraction for all the local beauty!

That's about it for now. Let the fun and games begin!

It's Almost Time!

Our race packets arrived via e-mail today! Print them off. Things start getting exciting now! Not surprisingly with the chilly spring in Boston, the water is cold and they are advising swimmers double up on caps, or invest in a neoprene cap to be worn under race cap. I can already feel the cold water taking my breath away. Tip: Before you begin the swim, stand in the water and put your face in breathing 10 times from each side to take away some of the initial shock and hyperventilating.
