Lanzarote Update #2

See Lanzarote photos in the gallery.
Less than 12 hours until the race start at 7am on Saturday morning. Christiane and I have just returned from having a lovely meal down by the harbour and will now turn our attention to getting to bed early as the (multiple) alarms are set to go off at 4am.
The last two days have consisted of final preparations for the race and attending the Athlete's Race Briefing and Parade of Nations yesterday afternoon and evening out at Club La Santa. Today we organized our various swim to bike and bike to run bags, plus our Special Feed Bag (sounds like we're horses in the barn...!) that will be given at the 105km point of the bike ride. There is no Special Feed Bag for the run - we are allowed to bring a bottle which is deposited on a table on the run course. As the run course is 4 loops we will pass this particular table a number of times. Rather than putting liquid in my bottle, I have it full of gel packages, blister bandages, and anything else I think might be useful on the run.
Today was a very overcast, cool day with minimal wind. Will we be as lucky again tomorrow?? Only time will tell...
