Preparing to go

Ugh. The worst part about triathlons is the packing beforehand. What to bring, or not to bring…and then worry about 2 weeks in New Zealand. I guess I’ll just have to consider everything as disposable!
I hope my ZIPP 404 race wheels survive. They are packed in along with my Ritchey Breakaway, a packable bike. Very cool. Highly recommend it for obsessive bikers like myself who like to train on vacation. It’s also a great way to visit a new place, seeing it from bike-eye view versus through the windows of a car.
Departing LAX on Saturday!
