here we go...

It's funny to be sitting on the porch of our wonderful, cozy house here in Coeur d'Alene, ID knowing that tomorrow I'll be running past it with a stretch of miles still before me. Bags & bike are in transition. I made sure my legs & arms remembered how to swim, bike, and run. Spent some time with friends in small but wonderful spurts of time. Soaked up the goodness of my teammates and coaches. Gave a little love out in return. And tried to just take it all in and enjoy today. Tomorrow will be a very different day. Unlike anything I've known. I have been oddly calm and peaceful about all of this. I'm overwhelmed (in a good way) about the day tomorrow. I have so much respect for what we're about to do and for what we've already done. We are ready. We've got an AMAZING support group here...seriously, we are so lucky. I can't imagine this without all of the T3 love. We will be surrounded...we will be encouraged by one another...and we will celebrate with one another. What a great day we have ahead of us. Unpredictable. Challenging. Full of lessons. Gratifying. Rewarding. Not unlike training, so,yes, we are ready. Godspeed Ironman athletes & gratitude for everyone along the race course.
