Good morning! It's 5 am race day here in coeur d'alene. The boys woke up at 4 am and daren ate 2 eggs, a banana, and one slice of watermelon. He also took 2 applesauces with him for right before the race. Both boys were really quiet this morning. Maybe because it was early, maybe because they are nervous, or maybe they are just being focused. Patsy, Lauren (michaels wife) and myself walked the mile to the race site at 4:30 and got the perfect spot for our group to sit at for the swim. The pro athletes will start their swim at 6:25 and then at 7:00 daren and Michael will be in the water. They just announced the water temp is 61 degrees. It'll be cold but hopefully bearable. Keep checking back every 2-3 hours as I will be posting as often as I can to keep you updated. You can also keep track of him at ironmanlive.com his bib number is 163
