I think we'll be there around 1-2pm.

So there's a chance you'll see me with a dozen full shopping bags and handfuls of the free chocolate samples from the HC15k booth by then.

I can text you when we arrive to see if you're still there. Maybe lend a hand as well.

Perfect. I'll try to pace myself and not start the shopping too fast due to adrenaline. See how I feel by the second hour and then push if I still have anything left in my wallet.

Make sure to put that on a lamented pace band!

I just took at look at the expo schedule, and Joan Benoit Samuelson is appearing at 4! That might be a cool talk to attend.

Leave some merchandise at the expo for me! I won’t get there until noon or 1:00 tomorrow!

Roll call for Friday Expo people? I'm trying not to be that person who arrives at 9am while everyone is still figuring things out and I am avoiding traffic. So I'm thinking maybe I'll get down there around 11????

But we'll see how antsy I get.

My husband texted me the following:
You can't control the weather. You can't go back and train more. You have done everything you can. Just let the ball roll down the mountain.

To which I replied with a gif of a panda rolling down a hill. So that's my state of mind right now.

Your husband is right. Worry about the things you can control, like eating well, hydrating, and getting a solid night of sleep tonight. As Charles, a long time participant on these boards frequently said, the hay is in the barn.
