One Day to Go!

Ocean water temperature is 59 degrees, only five degrees colder than the average for today at Zuma Beach. Brrrrr.  Of course that is warmer than the air temperature which is only 56 degrees!  Surf is 1 ft - seems like a piece of cake today - but how about tomorrow!  Went for a 17 mile ride this morning - and will do a 20 minute swim for lunch.  Early to bed tonight as the parking opens at 4:30 tomorrow AM.  Since I'm only doing the relay I don't have a bike -so the further out I park, the farther I have to walk to the transition area!  In the dark!

There is a big warning on the Zuma Beach website :  A Beach Closure has been declared for the area surrounding the Pebbly Beach lift station due to sewage contamination. Contact with beach water in this area may cause illness. Not sure where that is but the way water currents move - doesn't sound good.  Will be sure to spit out the water and not swallow!

Checked out the site for celebrities - and looks like Terri Hatcher and I are going to be swimming together - she is doing a relay this year.  Her training sounds like mine so I will be sure to try to catch a glimpse and pass her along the way!  Tom and the girls will get photos!

Updates to come tomorrow!
