My long-awaited sprint triathlon is just 4 days away.  Can you believe it?

my free t-shirt, swim cap, helmet sticker, flyers for other races and more

Today I went to pick up my packet for the race on Sunday.  I am excited.  I have done my training.  I stuck to it, even when I was worn out and beyond tired.  I had a few weeks where I really daily struggled to keep to my training for no other reason than I was tired.  Yet, here I am days away.  Last year when I ran my first half marathon, I remember being nervous.  Of course, 13.1 miles is a big feet to take on.  I was nervous about completing the race, what I would feel like and running the whole race.  All of the above was accomplished.  I notice this time around I am just excited.  Don’t get me wrong, there is nervousness mixed in but it’s an excited nervous.  I look forward to that morning, to being in the water, making my transitions, tackling the hills on the bike ride and finishing strong in my run.  I know I can do this.  I don’t know necessarily how I will feel through it all but I’ve done my homework.  Now it is time for me to enjoy it.

So if you think of it Sunday morning, root for the girl wearing #869.
