Race Weekend

One of the races (Escape from Alcatraz) I've been wanting to do for a while is coming up this weekend. However, I haven't really been training that hard for the race. I almost don't really care how I do in this race. I have no doubts that I will finish, but I don't know how hard it will be. Hopefully I struggle to much to finish the race. I know the swim is going to be hard.
The swim is the whole reason I wanted to do the race. Not many people can say that they have swam from Alcatraz. I've done the swim last year at a different race. It wasn't too hard, but it was warmer than it will be this weekend. Last I heard the water is going to be in the mid 50's. Damn, that's cold!
The last time I did the swim I almost got sick. The water was super salty, like a pirate - arrrrr!, and the rolling swells really did a number on my stomach. I'm hoping this time around it won't be that harsh on my stomach.
After I'm done writing this I need to pack. Here's my list:

• Wetsuit
• Goggles
• Squid Lid (Hoodie)
• Body Glide
• Bike
• Helmet
• Shoes
• Spare tube
• Co2
• Levers
  
• Glasses
• Run shoes
• Visor/hat
• HRM
• Pump
• Towel

That's all I can think of right now. I'm sure I will think of more. I planning on having my hammer shake for breakfast (2 scoops of Sustained Energy, 4 serving of Hamer Gel, and 12oz. of Water). I will also eat a bagel with Nutella for breakfast.
Well, it's time for me to pack. Oh, so much fun.
