Preparing for Pancakes

Tomorrow is pancake race day! Sarah (x2), Catherine, Jodie, a few other Yahoos and I are doing a sprint distance triathlon to get a feel for race day - the soginess and grogginess of it all.

Leaving my apartment at 5am to take the 5:30am State Island Ferry. At 8:15am, I will be jumping into the waters of the Lower Bay off the east side of Staten Island. I hope to finish in 1.5 hours (a very aggressive goal). At this point, I do feel ready and I would have never thought so if you asked me three months ago. Also, there is a very big motivator at the end of the race.

Here is the rundown:
  1. .25 mile swim
  2. 12 mile bike
  3. 3 mile run
  4. PANCAKES!
We all get pancakes afterward! The race itself is called "Flat as a Pancake," my favorite kind of course. Maybe I can skip right to the pancakes.
