- Friday, 5 hr 30 min flight from LGA to SAN with TNT folks from NYC, Long Island and Connecticut Chapters. Learned that nationwide, TNT raised over $12 million for the event.
- Landed, went to the hotel with Lorraine and Heather, dropped of our bags and headed to the convention center to pick up our race packet.
- Bib #, d-tag, San Diego Rock & Roll t-shirt and goody-bag. Check.
- Convention center madness. Free samples of shot blocks, shot rocks, cliff bars, power bars, gu, and anything else protein, sugar, power related you can think of.
- Got suckered into buying a power balance band (http://www.powerbalance.com/). I figured if it was good enough for Lamar Odom and Shaq, it was good enough for me. More on that later.
- Met up with Angela from SD. Turns out she is childhood friends with one of our NYC TNT coaches. Small world.
- Lunch, last minute errands and sleep.
- Rise and shine Saturday morning for a quick 20 minute group run and stretch.
- Pool time and lunch with the girls.
- 5pm pasta party with other TNT chapters. OMG. So inspirational and what a tear-jerker hearing stories of why others joined TNT.
- Final team meeting to go over race day details with the coaches and more mission moments tear-jerker stories.
- I learned that some of the kids that run in the 10:30 miler group actually have hearts on the inside. Even if they appear to be complete a-holes on the outside :)
- Race day singlet decorating (Run Jen Run, Paws and Wings) and then off to bed.
- Wait a minute. It's only 9pm and I have to go to sleeeeezzzzzp. Obviously not an issue for me.
- Sunday: 3:15am alarm goes off. Time to eat a bagel, down some coconut water and poop.
- I can't believe the race if finally here!
Part 2 coming tomorrow. Can't wait to share the race details! xoxo
