Day 39 - Rest Day in Galveston

Saturday.

Jess, Danny, and Taras arrived at 3am Saturday morning. We all got up around 9am, and went over to the Half Ironman race expo.
We watched some of the Sprint and Olympic triathlons, then Danny picked up his race packet.
After the mandatory race meeting, Danny and I did a little swimming, and then biked for about 30 minutes. I hadn't been swimming in my wetsuit in a long time, and I hadn't been riding on my triathlon bike in several months, so I wanted to make sure things felt mostly OK before race day.

We at a big Italian dinner at Mario's, and then settled into bed early. Getting up at 4:30am for a race never seems easy.
