And all of a sudden, it's one month until race day. Sitting in kick-off in May, September felt so far away...and now it's right around the corner. Usually at this point in training, I feel a lot of different things - anxiety, excitement, doubt, confidence, fear. But this time around, I'm proud to say that I've put a lot of work into my training, and I mostly just feel ready. I've got a few weeks of training to go, but I've also reached some major milestones. I never thought I'd be able to swim MORE than a mile, or bike for 90 minutes straight (especially considering I didn't even know how to ride 6 years ago). But I've pushed myself, relied on the support from my team and my friends, and gotten there.
I've got a lot of exciting things coming up in the next few weeks - fun fundraising events, my first open water swim, my first wet-suit practice, a mini-tri on Saturday, and of course, the race itself. It won't be easy, and I'm sure the anxiety will come when I get to the starting line - it always does. This season has been a lot of work, but I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever felt more ready for a race. I must say, it's a very nice feeling.
