The monkey is out of the bottle

The expression doesn't even make sense, but it sure made me laugh when I heard it.

Anyways, here we are, IMC minus 5days and feeling ready to get my race on! By the time the race rolls around, I will have swam about 25days in openwater. Let's see if the strategy pays off. Today was another excellent lake swim, with good amounts of chop, wind and rain. Plus an ez 35min run with a handful of 1min hard accelerations sprinkled in. I would say it's the last tune-up run for me, and I'm feelin good

We will start packing some stuff tonite, and getting the van ready to go. I have very few last minute details to tend to. Donovan is excited about the movies he gets to watch while we are on the road, and about being in Canada.

I can hardly wait. See what we got!
