Now, onto THIS post! :)
I have been crazy busy getting everything together and our house is in utter chaos! Not only do I have race stuff to pack, but I have to pack for a 2 week vacation too...for me, my husband, and our two boys!! Granted, my husband packed all of his stuff in like 5minutes, but for some reason, it just takes me longer to pack up the rest of the stuff. I think it's because I never know what I'll need, so I tend to pack more rather than less.
Anyways, here are some of the piles we have going on in our house right now!
* Race day nutrition
* Water bottles
* Snacks for our road trip
* Gadgets galore!
* Activity books for the boys
* All of my clothes and racing gear
My husband's pile was like 1/4 of mine! Ha ha!
* My bike and my husband's bike (I'm dragging him along for some training rides!)
* Racing wheels
* Bike stand/tools
* Suitcases
* Our boys' scooters and helmets (Yes, this might be a little much, but the weather in AZ is going to be in the 70s which means they will be outside ALL day!)
Phew..that's a lot of stuff! The drive is supposed to be around 12 hours long, but with 2 young boys, we know it will take us MUCH longer! We're leaving tonight after my husband gets off work and hoping to make it 3-4hrs. down the road. We just want to at least take a small chuck of time out of the total trip. Hopefully our boys will do well with the long drive, but I know there will be some "moments!" One thing is for sure though, it will definitely be an ADVENTURE! :)

Ur not alone or crazy for packing so much. Fortunately u should be able to find forgotten stuff at the race. Have a great trip!
Just remember to pack your bike! ;)
I bet packing it all in the car was fun! :)
Safe trip!
What I want to know is what vehicle you're fitting all that in! GEEZ!
woot! have a good trip and can't wait to follow you online.
What's better than a ROAD TRIP?
A road trip to an IM...
Better yet, an adventure with the kids to an IM..
Have fun!
Your kids will talk about this to all their friends forever! My daughter wrote her first essay at school this year about our trip to my first 70.3. And, they'll probably talk about all the stuff mom had to pack. Best of luck getting there. So excited for you!
I'm so excited for you that I can hardly stand it!!!! Hope the trip is uneventful and you get time to just chill.
yeah, i'd be a total spazz about packing for an IM and vaca
would probably require a uhaul!!
hope you are 110% soon and you will be amazing. so exciting!!!
that is a lot of packing-vaca and IM. i'd be a total spazz and pack up an entire uhaul!!!
its going to be soooo exciting!! hoping you are 110% asap :D
good luck with the trip! I don't envy your packing chores!
Exciting!!! Enjoy your reward for all your hard work

Have such a great race and trip. If you're not blogging while you're away I will for sure be tracking you on race day. You're going to do great!
Glad you made it safe and sound and had the chance do swim today!
I have only started packing in my mind. Not sure what I am waiting for since I need to have it ready Tuesday night. Denial maybe :) ?
Race packing is completely nerve-wracking for me alone, can't imagine having to worry about packing for two children as well!
Have a safe trip!
