  6. Great plan...maybe I need one, too! I had a dream about the race last night. For some reason, I was so fast on the swim (which we know is NOT true!) The wind was actually pushing me through the water. I was like "wow, I am so awesome." Then, I got to transition and could only move in slow motion. I wanted to go faster but couldn't. I kept putting on the wrong stuff, and even put on my son's football socks instead of my cycling socks!
