3 days until the duathlon!


Found this great logo from a t-shirt store that sells gear for athletes in different sports. Check it out at:  http://www.triathlontshirts.com/all_sport/duathlon_duathlete.htm

I received an email giving me the instructions for my race packet pick up. For those that are new to this, when you register for a race, you will get your race packet prior to the race. The packet contains your timing chip (my nemesis, lol), your number and other rules on what to do to be prepared for race day.  It's this Sunday morning.  

I got excited and then it hit me, "OH S%$#! This race is in 3 days!!!!". Then I got nervous, then I got doubtful that I could do it, then I got really upset that I would doubt I could finish this and now I'm really ready and thinking I got this covered. I am 7 weeks into training. I've gone from barely jogging 1 mile to jogging 5. I went from cycling 5 miles to cycling 24 and then running a mile right after. I'm ready. Very ready. It will be a challenge but it will also be an accomplishment.     

DO I really think I'm going to do this and finish it and feel great after? I DU! :-)

Anyone out there ready to try and start training for something? Drop me a line!  mommyathlon@bellsouth.net
