Big Day Tomorrow - Expo and a Day at the Outer Banks

All the Wake competitors have arrived by mid-day Saturday, ready for race day tomorrow. We are all staying at the Nags Head Inn. Mary arrived on Friday and set up our WFU Expo booth so it was ready for business today. Lynn and Bill had a late Friday evening arrival and manned the booth this morning. Susan, Ron, Carolyn, Erik, Craig and Karen caravanned down this morning and after finding the Inn, headed to the Expo to get race numbers and related goodies. The booth was seeing brisk business thanks to the wonderful schwag we offered for free! After everything was gone, all racers and support crew enjoyed a variety of activities to keep our minds off the pending race. A little touring around, a walk on the beach, some lighthouse touring filled the beautiful afternoon. Mark worked all day to travel here from Florida and we all met up at the Black Pelican for a final carb-loading meal before heading back to get race gear ready and a good nights sleep.....
