Nothing is easy. As I begin my prepping and packing for Miami, Hurricane Rina is churning away just off the Yucatan Peninsula. Fortunately, most models have it doing a u-turn but staying south of southern Florida. Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel also indicated that is will me greatly diminishing in strength. The Ironman Miami 70.3 website has also confirmed this and are not predicting any issues or cancellations. If this happens twice in the same month to me, I think it is time to start playing the lottery. Anyway, I will hope for the best and keep going as planned. Atleast at will be warm down there!
Meanwhile the packing has begun. I have staged everything in the living room and things are ready for packing. I hate checking bags, but not much choice here. I have 2 short layovers, so hopefully they don’t lose my bags. Below is my recent tri-specific packing list.
