Check out our humble accommodations...
Its 4pm and I am horizontal, with a bowl of corn chips and guac, and sun streaming in through the window. I am definitely in Arizona.
Our journey here was definitely not without hiccups. When we boarded in Victoria, they promptly told us the plane was broken and we had to offload. Not only that, but we had to reclaim our luggage and check in again. Crappy. Thankfully, we were armed with a laptop and 2 seasons of the Xfiles. Plus, the nice lady upgraded us to first class for our troubles and we had a very comfortable flight once we got going.
Clint and I are staying at an amazing homestay, we are in the guesthouse (yes, an entire house just for guests!). And, being that its a small world, Tara Norton and husband Bruce are staying here as well, Yay! They are great people, so that was a stroke of luck. I hear Chris and Marilyn Mc and Mac Donald are arriving today, also fun people to have around.
This morning I went to the University pool for a little swim. Love love love outdoor pools and miss them very much from when I used to live down here. Really felt amazing in the water which is great for my confidence and unusual for a taper week! Though i have tapered pretty hard core this time, how could I not be fresh?
On the way here and earlier in the week, I felt really unsure about racing again. Its been a long season, I have raced a lot... But now that i am here I feel ready to go body and mind.
So that's about it for now. After the race, I will be eating lots of cheesecake and ice cream... but also, Clinton and I are heading to Calgary for the swim/run technique camp. Really looking forward to spending time with the Mercury team.
Adios for now.

P.S. Tuesday before I left, Troy at Pro City Cycles waved his magic wand and a new bottle cage appeared on my bike. Backrack be gone. Hello fast.
