Having our room this close to transition area, blessed us with announcements and music just after 5:00am this morning. With that going on we couldn’t lay around in the bed. Of course its still dark outside, we can see the people getting ready down there. It was tough to watch everyone take off this morning. I was thinking this morning, while they were standing on the beach, about how their emotions were running high. I was feeling the same thing. We watched the swim start from our balcony because of the crowd on the beach. Team Whetstone is 12 members strong, dressed in our team shirts, ready to cheer. We all went down to find different locations to watch for Mike. Mike exited the water close to 1:14, which is excellent, right where he predicted. Several of us got cheers in and I got a wet high five as he was coming out of his wetsuit. He went through T1 without a hitch and we all got to cheer him as he got on the bike to take off.


The Team is going to breakfast now and then we’ll head out to find him on the bike course somewhere.
