Toothless in Tampa Pre Race

Groups: 24 Hours of Conyers (GA)

12 hours and 25 minutes before the start and I am still at work.

I am not packed.

My race bike's rear derailleur decided to circumnavigate the rear hub and took a portion of my drop out along for the ride.

At least one of my teammates, Funky, sounds like he is ready for our adventure. I just called Matt Man and the Don Mon and they have not made it to the race site yet despite leaving Tampa at 2:00 this afternoon. They did find a bar though so at least they will be well hydrated for the race.

It is about a 4 and a half hour drive for me to the race site.

No pressure.

Silly Baby Boy. Margaritas are the night-before-the-race adult beverage of choice for long suffering 24 hour racers.

Mexican Food is a must for pre-race prep...you already know that the massive amounts of bananas being ingested will cause serious flatulence -- might as well add some zing to your sting with the carefully selected cheese and refried bean combo.
