I found this group of amazing triathletes that are just as dedicated as I am, and probably even more! We can call it an addiction, I think. Getting up in the am to hop on the TT or jump in the pool got me! the endorphins created from training rush to my brain at lightening speed, and just like junkies with drugs, the more I train, the more I want to train! It can't be all that bad, can it? Of course I am not alone in this journey: I have used Will and Jared as my role models, as "go-to" people for any questions or doubts I have, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future!
The icing in the cake is that my brother (from another mother!) Brad and his wife Heidi will be cheering me on at the race! I could not have asked for me! I only hope to put on a good performance and make them proud!
Unfortunately Will won't make it to the race after a series of bad luck he's had in his preparation. I'm only hoping that he'll be back on the horse soon (I give you 1 year leave, no more!).
I have a lot of reading to do on Salt tablets, but had a privileged chat with Jared last night who gave me the inside scoop about te race!
I will brace for and embrace the heat and harsh race conditions that will be thrown at us, because this is apparently what makes this race unique. But most importantly, I will certainly have a blast!
It's GO time!
