I have a reservation
I made reservations for a hotel room for the night of March 28, 2008. The triathlon is March 29, 2008… so there’s that step. Tommy’s sister is participating in the triathlon with me and it’s about 4 hours away from us (but still in the state of VA!).
Making the reservation was free, so that’s mostly why I did it. I needed something concrete!
I also changed my training plan and rewards system pages to reflect the present tense. Fun stuff. ![]()

Good thing you booked a room. I made the mistake at my first Ironman of not booking a room till the last minute… and the result was that all the hotels in town were filled… (It was a small town)… then the owner of a local restaurant with a run down (hadn’t been used in 10 years) motel on the second floor decided to renovate a couple rooms of the hotel and open them up for business. We lucked out!
Then I learned my lesson… it’s much easier to cancel a hotel reservation at the last minute then it is to find a hotel room at the last minute.
Cool! I’ll bet you’re excited about training now huh?
