Piles of...ah...stuff on my unmade bed.
Bike and accessories all boxed up.
Plane ticket and Passport in hand. 6 days to Ironman.
How do you say "where's the bathroom" on Swiss German!
Many many thanks to you all for checking in on me and all your encouragement. Hugs and kisses to the ladies. Hand shakes and rump slaps to the guys.

Check, make lists, check them off 5 times!! Well at least for the really important things...like bike stuff.
Fun...good luck...you'll rock the house.
Go 1961! I'm sure that was a good year for wine... somewhere.
Can't help you on "Where's the bathroom", but BE SURE TO BRING YOUR OWN NUTRITION! I'm sure Switzerland is better than Spain, but you never know, a lot of the brands are different out here. But then again, I'm sure you already thought of that. Good luck! Leave some room in that suitcase for souveneers, like, say, 500 t-shirts for all your friends, family, training partners, co-workers, whoever you meet on the plane, neighbors, the paper boy...
Good luck!
just in case you've never done an international IM, my best words of advice to you are...
BRING YOUR OWN NUTRITION. they don't sell stuff you're used to overseas and you might end up having to eat nutella sandwiches on the bike. not that i know anything about that... :)
in any case, have a great time and good luck!
oh, just saw that someone else wrote the same thing...funny...but maybe it'll help you do it, eh? :)
Thanks all. I'm all packed, boxed and yes, I'm bringing my favorite food items including peanutbutter. off to the airport in moments. very excited now.
Looks like you're set! Say hi to Zurich for me...what a beautiful city.

I can't believe it's nearly time already. You will rock it!
Can't wait to read the race report. Go get 'em!
You're probably IN Zurich right now, we're practically neighbors! Just wanted to give you one final good luck before your race! I'm sure you'll do great! I look forward to reading about it!
