Whew! I now have my entry confirmed and my flight booked.... my new job here at work tires me out and sometimes dragging myself through training is exactly that.... but I do love the racing and training.... so up I get, running I go, pedalling in my living room and swimming long satisfying workouts!
My best friend in the entire world is going with me, she has never seen me race..... we have different ways of getting there, but the important thing is sharing this week and this race with her.... I am sure she will have some pics to share!
I am 30 lbs lighter, but still have 17 to go to be where I want to be.... I feel great now but know where my best racing is done. I am also SO looking forward to seeing my friends from the States, Paul can't race because of a torn rotator cuff, but his humour will have Donna in stitches watching the race while his wife and I slug it out on the flats!
No trip to New Orleans would be complete without some Jazz, some Jambalaya and a trip on a paddlewheeler.... then relax, put up the feet and go to the pasta load, then Sunday April 5.... RACE DAY!!! After the race, windup dinner and awards (not worried about a victory speech at this point, just composing myself after finishing and not drooling).... and on the last day, a trip to the French Quarter for dinner, coincidentally on my other friends birthday.... and she's French! lol
I am so thankful to have the opportunity to put myself back out there.... thanks to my friends, my coach, and my new belief that what I want to do counts most...... Swim, bike, run, hug your friends, celebrate and cheer them on!
Life is good....
Michele
