I arrived in Buena Vista yesterday.
It is a cool town, which seems to have a big white water paddling scene and is appropriately named with magnificent views of the Collegiate Peaks.
It has been stinking hot here. I love the heat, but it is definitely an interesting way to start a hard 6-days. Any mistakes with hydration tomorrow could have some serious consequences down the road.
I met up with Aaron today and although we didn't know each other overly well, I can tell that we won't have any personality issues. We seem to share a similar world view and sense of humour, and I know that we have both trained hard.
We listened to the inevitable rounds of speeches tonight in a gym and tomorrow the production/village/circus takes the show on the road.
I am not sure if I will have any internet access over the week. I am not bringing my laptop, so will do a recap post-event.
There are still a lot of variables and unknowns and the race has a lot to throw at us, I can't wait!
