Today my wife Lisa and me have made it to Kanab, the gathering point for the race. An easy flight into Las Vegas forum Albuquerque. On the flight we just happened to sit down next to probably the only other person going to the race from New Mexico, volunteer Susan Oliver!
Upon getting or bags in Vegas we met up with the others and loaded up for a four hour bus ride across Nevada and Utah. Fortunately the interstate has been repaired near Mesquite NV from being washed out in some torrential rains just days before. Traffic had been diverted three hours around the damage, lucky us. Hopefully we will have drier weather!
Over 40 competitors and volunteers were long for the ride, getting to know each other and sharing their anticipation. The rest of the contingent comes in tomorrow. I look forward to some relaxing time after a 70 hour plus work week and some very late nights. Repacking and reviewing my kit along with a short run is on the schedule too.
