Four days of waiting, anticipating
Really, this is kind of strange.
I really don't have much to say.
Saturday is Redman.
It is my first triathlon and I'm going for it all.
Why mess around with the Sprint, Olympic, or 1/2 iron distance.
When I signed onto this crazy idea, my coach told me more than once that there is no shame in a 1/2 ironman. I am pretty sure he was trying to convince me to start simple. Build up my distances. Shoot for the full iron-distance once I get a race or two under my belt.
Sure. Most people work that way.
Only, I am not "most people".
I don't dangle my toe in the water to check the temperature before jumping in.
Nope.
I just jump in.
Once I make up my mind, there is no looking back.
There's no looking back!!!

You are going to kick ass this weekend! I was originally planning on coming down to cheer you all on, but I can't. Sorry. Good luck!
Yep, no turning back now. The anticipation is killing me. We'll both be Ironmen (ok, technically Redmen) by this time next week. I know you'll do great!
