Good Luck this weekend

Good luck! Looking forward to a race report. (please start a new thread)

Well, I am happy to say that I AM AN IRON MAN!!! I did it guys! I will post a new thread and try to recap the day. So much emotion. Just thinking about the day right now makes me tear up right now.

Congratulations! I know the feeling. People who have never tried will never know. People can be impressed, but if they've never even attempted even a sprint triathlon, that impression rings hollow. They cannot grasp even the audacity of attempting something so bold, so challenging. Only those of us who have done it, or failed trying, know truly what a personal physical and mental challenge this is. It is something you will carry with you the rest of your life.

Love this! I know I get asked a lot about the hours of training. Even though you tell them you are training X hours a week, they have no idea what that actually encompasses. Missed family time. Missed work time and trying to keep up with work, the additional time it takes to get to wher you are training, the time spent changing, the laundry that builds up from training, the lack of sleep, the early morning, the late nights, the mental struggles during training. It is a lot.

I haven't forgot about the race write up. Still working on it. Trying to catch up to work right now. LOL. But I am almost done.
