Belize day 3 - Hydrate or die

The locals have been saying they were experiencing a cold front, temps in the mid 80's since we have been here. Well...cold front is over! After finally being able to sleep late, we did an easy spin along he sea wall at 10:00....HOT! Spent the rest of the day focusing on drinking as much water and gatorade as we can get down. We have a great support group here with Andrew, Charlie, Matthew and Blackheart. Charlie "my buddy" Leslie and Blackheart will be in the team's service vehicle tomorrow and we are in great hands. Harkey's 6th place at the last race (Belmopan Classic) put us in the drawing of the top 5 teams for places in the caravan...we drew spot #1, AWESOME. Our service call will be the first in the caravan so feeds will be easy for us, don't have to fight through the caravan traffic.

Santino's team is probably going to be the team to beat with 18 guys in the race, 4 of them good foriegn ridders including Traviaso. Mexican National team also has a team that is going to be strong. Race tomorrow at 6:00...
