1/2 IronMan Weekend

I am currently preparing to leave for a weekend of camping in the rain so that I can participate in a 1/2 IronMan (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride and 13.1 mile run). I am working my way through an enormous list of things that I will need to get me through the weekend which is rapidly filling up the car. I am not too sure how I am going to get Graeme and all of his gear in the car, let alone Andrew who is coming along as a volunteer for the weekend. It will be a cosy 3-4 hour ride to the camp site.
This is our 1/2 way to IronMan weekend where we get to test out some of our race day strategies in preparation for the main event in August. It will be a completely new experience for me. Although I have cycled and ran these distances before, I have never swam so far in one go. The course is also supposed to be one of the toughest around (Wildflower long course), and there is a possibility of rain- probably overnight, so camping will be fun! The action starts at 7 AM tomorrow morning when we jump off the dock into Lake San Antonio (http://www.lakesanantonio.net/). Depending on how tough the course is, I am hoping to get around it in 6-7 hours. DId I mention that we will be camping in the rain?
