Pre-race jitters

Curtis was anxious to sign up for as many races as possible to be ready for the "big one" in October. So, one late night I signed us up for the sprint in Lubbock so we could see what a half Ironman event was like and one in Austin so we could test out the lake. So, the week of the Buffalo Springs Lake 70.3 and Tri-Raider Sprint Triathlon, I realized I forgot to get a hotel room! Oops! Big Mistake in a small town. Apparently, everything was booked, but I just happened to go online and find one for twice the regular price. That hurt....but didn't have a choice at that point. So, onwards we go.

We get to the hotel and find out that there was a glitch in the system and they overbooked by 50 rooms. I was still focused on just getting the special room rate and didn't realize that the girl was offering to send us to another hotel for FREE...., but alas they ended up finding a room for us there so it worked out.

We checked out the race site and headed back for some food and sleep. We made another mistake of eating Wataburger and oreos that night. Guess we were looking for some comfort. Woke up at 4am with a stomach ache and no coffee in sight....
