For the most part Sunday was about packing. 1st "all things tri" which has become a big deal with the recent poor weather at race site in Belfort. It has been dropping to near zero in the mornings so getting out of the lake after more than an hour of swimming and getting onto a bike to ride 30+kph will be willy-chilly so I need to pack extra top, real gloves, rain booties, etc.
The forecast is looking better for race day however the cool temps the next few days will help officials decide what length the swim will be. It is a formula of the time in the water, the water temp and the air temp. if the water is too cold combined with a low air temp, the swim time will be reduced.
Today (Mon) is go time. After a few quick chores, off to the airport early check in bags. We decided to check them in early to ensure we have no issues with Air Canada and my bike. Glad to say they waved the bike handling fee of $50 and just a $100 surcharge for extra bag.
Back to town for massage, then back home where Doug T picked us up and safely carted us the YYJ.
Got to fly the new Q400 Air Canada has started to use rather then the old DASHs that we have been puddle jumping to Vancouver the past 20 years. It is a pretty nice unit. Would I prefer it over the Canada regional jets used to get to Calgary/Saskatoon. Nope.
Just finished eating the snack we prepared and watching Detroit vs Chicago. Have 2 hrs before 10.5hr flight to Munch Germany where we will have a little over an hour wait for short flight to Zurich.
Once at Zurich airport, we get on train south to Bassel Switzerland, switch train and head west into France and Belfort. Expect to be in hotel Tue 10pm local time. So just under 20 hours total travel time. Dam, the hawks just scored.
