Galveston
One can't not know who Glen Campbell is! I was shocked and horrified with the revelation that Mary did not know who Glen Campbell was! So, thinking I was special for knowing something she didn't, I pulled up Glen on youtube gave a listen to Glen's lovely Galveston song while walking the corridor of the Holiday Inn Resort, our home base. As soon as we arrived I noticed we were situated right across the street from the open ocean which, to us, came in really handy for the very first wet suit try-on and dip in open water. We did that on Saturday morning after coffee but before breakfast. I stayed on track leading up the race as well as possible taking all of my usual precautions. Drink lots, each well, rest as much as possible, get on the course.. I think I did pretty well.. We even watched a really crappy movie starring John Travolta. He played a mobster who lent money to a bunch of nerdy, dorky, guys. Mary seemed to like it. Galveston is flat and windy...
