If you missed the pre-race activities, click here. For the first time EVER, I was able to sleep the night before the a race. Who was I? Since I had set everything I needed out the night before, it only took me 20 minutes to get ready including putting my breakfast of a gf bagel [...]

Racing this year feels so different from previous years.  The sick nervousness that used to plague me before races has become a distant memory.  I was happy and relaxed at this triathlon.  Granted, all my races have been short little things so far.  The only tris that I have done this year have been sprints.
