What a weekend! Sooo much fun following along with the Ironman Races and watching so many friends from Blogger world have truly amazing races!! It really got me fired up to race and have fun with it!
Good thing since this coming weekend I'm racing on both Saturday and Sunday!
Saturday I'm doing something I've never done before... I'm competing in a Team Time Trial. I love cycling and said this year I wanted to play around with it more! Well my good friend and team mate Amy suggested we participate in this event awhile back and we've kind of sat on it awhile. But we both thought it would be fun and so despite the fact that we currently have only 3 members of our team.... despite the fact that we're both racing IronGirl on Sunday.... despite the fact that the Time Trial is actually 19 miles instead of the 9 we thought it was originally... we're on board and it should be fun!!
So then Iron Girl is on Sunday! Again, that should be a fun race. A lot of first timers, so it's always fun to watch them compete and get the thrill from the finish! A lot of local people there, and even some travelers as Kate Monster is even going to be there, so I'm going to try to hook up with her and say hello as well!
I will most likely need some help from you guys by reminding me that I choose to put my weekend together like this and so therefore when I don't do as well as I'd like at this Sprint... well that's ok! :) This weekend is all about fun, so that's what I'm looking forward to.
But I'm mixing it up this year... trying to race maybe a little more and test myself a little. I even managed to force myself out the door last night at 8:30 for a 45 min run after walking all over Six Flags with my kids yesterday! That little part of my mind was saying, "You got plenty of exercise today at Six Flags. You'll just over do it and injure yourself!" But the real me knew I needed to get my butt out there and do it! So in the interest of racing more...pushing harder.... having more fun.... and trying new things.... maybe all this "punishment" won't be so bad after all!!
Congratulations again to everyone who raced this weekend! Paul from PT great job at CDA. Kerrie Wlad... you did amazing! Bree #2 at Ironman Japan... all I have to say is WOW!! And anyone else, great job guys!!
