What happens in Vegas

And so we are here. It's been, I don't know, like 10 seconds since Kansas? Truly all 3 of us feel the same way. Very Cool that we all qualified in Kansas, and now we are all here together.



And people. Let me just say. It is HOT here in Vegas. It is actually cooler when the wind is not blowing, since there appears to be a large furnace somewhere just north of the airport. You'd think we were in the middle of the freaking desert or something.

I was able to get us on a much earlier flight. Free for me thanks to my gold status. Couldn't have worked out better. We have been able to get groceries, check in, eat dinner, and we'd only just have been landing now with our original flight. Our hotel room rocks, and is perfect for us for this trip. Super bonus is the laundry centre we found in one of the closets. No bringing home stinky sweaty race kits and running shoes that smell like cat pee if they don't get washed right away. We also got a great car. Traveling for work as much as I do definitely has its perks. Flying in over Vegas, it finally hit me. Regardless of what my fitness level is, and how much training I have been able to do (or not do), I am actually here. And, Klafter, love ya man for reminding me that no matter what happens on race day, I earned the right to be here. That's a huge thing, and I'm grateful for it.

So happy to be here with Janet and Kevin.  As Kevin tweeted earlier, this shit is the real deal.

Oh, and the number thing I always seem to have going on? Not only is my race number in Vegas 777, today when we checked into the hotel we were given room 613. There's my lucky 13, once again.

Happy training
