On the Eastern Shore...

We arrived in MD yesterday.  The weather is beautiful right now....but they're calling for Tstorms and rain tomorrow.....but low 90 degree temps.  We'll see.  Everytime I come to this race, I'm just in awe of how beautiful the area is.  I mean....it has it's bad, financially stricken areas.  But, the water...and the wildlife preserve are just awesome.  I got out on my bike today...and things feel good.  My father-in-law help me construct (okay he constructed!) a new SRM mount on my bike.  I can now really see my numbers while riding.  I have a feeling I'm the only one racing with anything like this!  It's shaped so it fits into my aero drink bottle. I'll try to take pics at some point.  I also did a quick run.  Afterwards I chatted up w/Brian Shea of Personal Best Nutrition (a NJ guy) and young pro Andrew Yoder....who should be first off the bike tomorrow.  Funny story....back in 2005 I did a local NJ sprint in Hammonton.  I finished 3rd.  But, there was this young 14 or 15 year old kid nipping at my heels.  I was like, who is this kid.....thinking there's no way he should be on my butt like this.  It was Yoder.  Now I don't feel so bad...since this kid has been tangling w/the likes of Potts, Macca, Reed, Bennett, to name a few.  Anyway, at this point, I'm not really sure how I feel.  Not much I can do about it now anyway.  My warmup w/outs are done.  My huge Denny's Grand Slam breakfast is sitting in my stomach....all that's left to do today is kick back and rest up.  Routine, routine, rountine....
