When plans go bad

Well, my plans or my comunication of my plans did not go so well today....

My shift is over at 6:45 and of course I was on the Desk checking the flow of data. My teammate asked yesterday to take off at 3:30 due to a wedding out of town. so I missed the boat and lost that race :) It was rather slow and my mind wandered a lot. You know pre race day thoughts... did I pack/train/eat/etc... enough.

So I chat with Amanda about the camping on Saturday night, I make a few calls and man a lot of people want to camp this rather warm weekend.... She finaly found a place for the 5 of us. Yay Amanda. So I agree to pick up some of her stuff so Jed's car isn't packed full with people and gear.

- If I was thinking I would have picked up her stuff on my lunch
- If I was thinking I would have asked to bail from work early a few days ago or take the day off. - If I was thinking I would have not tried to get to Amanda's durring rush hour traffic
- If I was thinking I would have NOT LEFT ALL MY Pre-mixed Drinks for the event in the staff fridge!!!!
- If I was thinking I would have eaten something around 3 pm so I wasn't so brain dead right now
- And last but not least If I was not thinking I would have not checked some message boards and got myself freaked out I was wearing the wrong item under the wetsuit.... I still am on the fence swim suit or bike shorts

I got to sylvan about 1.5 hours past the Athlete meeting I was attempting to leave early to get too. So I bought some supper from good old Subway and walked around. It is funny to see all the people in the race tommorow pointing and trying to figure out where things are.

Well I hope this is the end of my bad run. Next post is Post race
