It's a good thing I had a rest day, I needed to prepare...

Today is only my 2nd day off from training since January 11th. The only other day off was a 1 day taper for the 30 km race around the bay.

This evening I spent preparing for the race in Florida.

Firstly, I got a hair cut, short and very aero dynamic. Then I washed and cleaned my Trek, it really needed it, as it was full of grease and grime. I then put racing laces in my new running shoes to help reduce the amount of time I spend in the transition. I then made a to do list of items to bring to the race, and finally, I sized up my bike box and helmet for "Training Payne" stickers.

From Reid's design, we got the final artwork finished today. Shirts, labels and stickers to follow.
