We had a mandatory pre-race dinner and meeting last night. The food was ok but company was good. Nancy and Neil are staying very close to the host hotel. They had an extra parking pass they gave me to use and it has been great. I have a secure place to park on race day and that is a big stress reliever for me. So I met up with them and we walked to dinner and sat with some other friends they knew.
After eating, the Race Director and the announcer got up to speak and go over the race day rules. There are about 2800 registered participants, with 1300 first time Ironman participants. The oldest man racing is 75 and the oldest woman is 65. She did her first triathlon at age 59. The youngest racer was a kid from Georgia who is 18. We are meeting again in on Friday morning for another swim.
