Tomorrow I leave for Grande Cache and then to do the Death Race on Saturday. I hope I’m ready. The signs haven’t been good. Let’s list them, shall we.

1. My friends aren’t doing it as well.
2. My knee got badly hurt in February.
3. My hotel decided to cancel my reservation.
4. Two months ago, I twisted my ankle bad enough that it still has a bit of pain.
5. I came down with a cold a couple of days ago. I’m pretty sure I caught it last Friday, and I could see it coming almost immediately.

All this will make victory that much sweeter.
