Atlanta

It was a long seven hour drive up from the flatlands. It is very spring-like up here which is fine if you're a resident. I wanted cooler for the race but we run with what we are given.

The hills are daunting and I haven't even seen the course. The elevation table in the paper is much more specific that that on the race Web site. I am not even going to drive the course. I do not need to see any more than I have seen already.

I went out to Emory Univ. this morning to see the Tibetan monks at the museum who were doing their sand art called mandala. Fascinating.

Time to go to the expo and pick up registration; take a look around.

I drove one of the bridges in Clearwater, and I regretted it.

You'll be fine once you get started!

I'm looking forward to tracking you and more importantly the race report.

Good Luck!

These pictures weren't here before, right?

Those mendalas are so beautiful and it is beautiful that the monks do this as a gesture of peace and tranquility.
