Tomorrow Is THE Day - My First Sprint Triathlon!

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Florida Network Realty BK 3030920

If I told you I was all calm and cool about this, I'm not.

My buddy had to drop out due to her mother's health, which really should not be a big deal, as we only had one training session together in the past 10 weeks, but it shook me a bit just the same.

I've managed to make contact with someone else I know, who will be there, and help me get my transition area set up, since I have no earthly idea of what I'm doing.

I feel so electric, it's unbelievable! Add to that we may well have some morning rain, which will make the conditions really a bit better (from other athletes in my office, the rain helps keep the water smoother, and will keep everyone cool, and as long as I don't try to do anything too spiffy on my bike, I should stay upright just fine!).

Wish me luck, or call me insane - it's all good. I'll blog tomorrow about my experience and what I learned - thanks for reading!

Good luck, hope the wind is pushing your back and watch out for pot holes. Watermelon rinds. Wildlife on the route.

Wow, good luck!  I had a client who would do the Ironman triathalons and she was ripped.  Just the thought is so daunting.  Pat yurself on the back for even having the gumption to do it!

Andrew - Nice! No potholes, thanks to fairly new roads, and the wildlife I saw on the road was....roadkilll.....

Brenda - Thanks! I can't wait to do it again, and not be a novice triathlete next time!

Jennifer - I do not see myself getting to the Ironman series, but am in awe of anyone who does.

Mary - It was so cute: they gave all the novices (1st timer's) faux medals at the finish line!

Christine - Just posted this AM about yesterday; could not AR to let me post yesterday!

Michele - Thanks! It was so incredible, and oddly emotional!
