Sorry - no photos to share. :(
My camera will not download for some reason and I don't have the patience right now to figure it out.
Today we arrived in Anaheim after a 6.5 hour drive which was very uneventful. We drove our large van with four bikes up top and two inside. We arrived at the athlete check-in around 1:30 and did not get to our hotel (about 7 minutes away) until 4:30. The Time Trial bike Nano is borrowing has to pass a certain criteria since his time trial is a qualifier for Worlds. Anyway - he switched out the stem, twice, and it finally passed. A big thank you to Martin Messersmith (an awesome triathlete!) for taking the time and giving up his road bike stem for nano to use in the Cervelo. Karen took some great pics. which I'll eventually post here.
Tonight the kids and Martin and Ryan Messersmith met and rode part of the time trial course. On the way home we got lost, taking an hour to find our "apartment" instead on the necessary 20 minutes. Our place is impossible to find in the dark....it is a "boutique" hotel with "apartments. I guess part of the ambiance is low outside lighting!
So, here's the line up for tomorrow:
11:50:00 - 15/16 Joseph
1:34:30 -17/18 Nano
2:17:30 -13/14 Abba
3:11:00 - 10/12 Jon
and our fellow JETS:
2:39:30 -13/14 Stefan Fuller - JETS
3:04:30 - 10/12 Ryan Messersmith - JETS
3:07:30 - Robert Terra - JETS
Looking forward to some great racing and tough competition!
BTW- Nano started feeling better a few hours ago after a tough day of stomach flu yesterday. I was really happy to see his race time in the afternoon - every minute of recovery time is helpful!
By for now - will write more soon!

You are such a wonderful and generous person (as well as the whole family)! If if wasn't for your shade on Wednesday, I don't know what we would have done! Thanks for sharing!
