Aside from a low-level undercurrent of anxiety over the marathon, this trip has gotten off to a smooth start. I was feeling really good about remembering all my gear and being all prepared until we were at dinner last night and I realized I'd forgotten to pack my marathon confirmation.
That's an important thing.
When we got back to the hotel, I went to the marathon site to look up whether I had to have my confirmation with me or if I could still get my packet without it. It said I could show my identification and get a reprinted confirmation ticket, and that put me at ease.
For about a minute.
I'm registered for the race as Jaye. That's not my legal first name, so it's not the one on my license. So a reprint at the expo might not be possible.
In the end, I ended up getting my sister to find the registration in my desk and have it scanned and emailed to me. I printed it off this morning, so disaster is averted.
We're going to the expo today to get our packets and make sure we're squared away. I don't want to wait until tomorrow and find there's another problem.
