Race Weeoemd Minus One
One week to go until IM Canada EHHHHHHH??????
Just some random thoughts/reminders because I know that you will have some time this weekend. Don't do anything stupid. The hay is in the barn, you have done the training just deal with the mental voice that is saying "I wish that I would have trained more...." Most of us will have pack our bikes and shipped them. If you forget anything, you can get just about anything at the expo or from one of your fellow EN folks. The Team Dinner will be Thursday August 25th at the Pasta Factory located at 236 Martin. The time is 6:00 pm and they do not take reservations during race week. I will get there a little early and get some table space. We should have about a dozen or more folks.
There are IM Canda race specfic shirts available on the EN Store website. John Stark, Race Guru should have sent out an email. Ann Frost who has been in the Penticton area for the past month should be receiving those in time for race dinner.
There used to be a big Peach near the swim entrance. Is anyone interested in meeting before/after some practice swims. Next week we should be able to use the GroupMe app to notify meetups and the such. I am planning on doing a practice swim on Thursday morning to check out water temps and check out visual sghting markers for open water. Then ride the run course on my bike. My bike should arrive by Wednesday. Then I will register on Thursday afternnon after the intial rush has subsided.
Don't forget your passports. Does anyone know if the Americans can recoup the GST tax????? Canada charges a Goods & Service Tax (GST). Americans used to be able to take their receipts and be refunded that money if they filled out a form on the way out of the country.
Hey Ann, any info on the temps of the water, air that we can expect. Any 411 information on the area will be appreciated. Anyone else have any suggestions/ ideas?

Not sure on the GST refund, but I'll sure be watching for any replies from those who know. That would sure be nice to recoup that tax.
Sitting here on the computer thinking that this time next week, I'll be on my way down to transition.
