....never been this grateful for jet lag!
Noel's last pre-event meal needs to be 3 hours before the start according to the experts. We're all standing around listening to Noel count carbs in the selection of breakfast cereals.
The schedule for this morning is that she will have to be at the race start between 4:45 and 6:45 for body marking. Given the state of Noel's nerves, my money says she's down there at 4:45 :)
4:35 AM: Noel and Von just left to wait for the shuttle. Anybody take my bet?
Hope, Von and I have our first observation location picked out. It's an area out along the water front where the swimmers go by. The odds of actually picking Noel out in the water are between slim and none but it's a nice location. I'm sure that only 2 or 3 thousand other people have it picked out too!
4:55 AM: Moment of panic. Von reports no shuttle and nobody visible waiting for the shuttle. We're off to get the car while Noel continues to edge slowly down the road towards town.
5:05 AM: Von and I are back. Noel apparently caught the shuttle or someone gave her a ride. Von and I didn't find her. We did, however see a couple of shuttle buses and plenty of people waiting. Crisis averted.
