I cannot wait to see how it goes for you! I'm a wanna-be runner! Would you ever consider doing a post that sort of summarizes your start in training for the tri and the things you did to get to race day? I'm always in need of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing your triathlon.
ReplyDeleteThat is a LOT of stuff. I've since read you completed and "Rocked" your Tri! Congratulations and I TOLD YOU SO! *g*
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies!
ReplyDeleteBookBelle... my race went really well today. I'm very happy with my results! I would love to do a post about my path to the triathlon. I've actually gotten a couple of emails from people asking the same thing. I'd love to be an inspiration for others the way my workout friends and mentors have been for me. It's all about paying it forward, right? :)
Dru... thank you so much for your support! :)
Brandy... it IS a lot of stuff, but I needed all of it! Except the garbage bags for the rain, thank goodness. It did drizzle at the end, but I kept most things in my backpack and it stopped before it soaked through.
Thank you so much for your support, encouragement and your unending confidence in me! It means so much to me. xo :D
