Counting the hours

It's less than 48 hours until race time. I'm checking the weather forecast on an hourly basis. I'm obsessing about what clothes to wear. And I'm dying for a beer. After a horrendous telecon at work today I really, really needed a drink. But no alcohol until after the race. Of course, if I drink immediately afterwards I'll be a cheap date so that's one benefit. Actually, now that I think about it, there's usually a group of people handing out dixie cups of beer near Manayunk (the 20 mile point) but I think I'll wait until I finish.

I'm now a good mix of nervous, excited, anxious, and tired. I'm almost ready for this race. Almost.
