Off To Muncie!

We're off this morning to make the drive out to Muncie. The plan is to get in a workout on location, and then get some good pasta. (Read: Olive Garden)

My tentative goal is 6 hours, but I totally understand that anything can happen in a race this long, so it's only tentative.

Goals:

1. Have fun! This is a new experience, so make sure to enjoy it.
2. Finish.
3. Finish in 7:00 (0:50 swim, 3:30 bike, 2:30 run)
4. Finish in 6:00 (0:45 swim, 3:00 bike, 2:00 run)

My gut feeling is that the run is the most variable of the three, and it looks like it'll be a hot one. My bottle holder for the bike is as tight as I can get it, so the plan is to have some better hydration and nutrition than in the Deer Creek tri. With any luck, it'll be a fun 13.1 mile victory lap, rather than a death march. :)
