Morning of Ironman Canada-morning hours

What does the wife of an ironman do in the early hours of the morning? Instead of helping John down to the transition area and being there to support and cheer, I am sitting in this chair, in the dark, listening to the snores of our beautiful little boys. Erica and I debated the pros and cons to waking them up and hustling them down for the start, but due to the long day ahead, we will keep them asleep for the start, then drag them down for the finish of the swim! So here I sit, looking out my hotel balcony, watching all the chaos from afar.
