Orlando before race time

Craig and I arrived in Orlando on Sunday the 14th. We are staying about an hour away from the race site in Orlando at a condo. It's been just the two of us until yesterday.

Yesterday Bridget and David arrived. We had a great time hanging out and going for Sushi. Today, Craig's mom Carol arrives as well as Bedie and Tom. Still to arrive are Eric, Nicole and Sally. It's been wonderful to see all the support heading Craig's way.

Today we drove out to see the race site and for Craig to have a look at the lake, etc. before it's a zoo tomorrow. Tomorrow we will drive back to drop off all his gear and bike. We have a convertible rental, so the drive is a blast.

Tonight is the "night before the night before" so it's critical that he get a lot of rest. He's getting a nice mix of anxious and excited! It's unseasonably hot here-still in the 90's. David is cooking us a great dinner tonight.
