7 days and counting...

Here's to my new background... For those of you who don't know, I'm doing my first triathlon in exactly one week! I participated as a team back in June and did the swim leg at the Xterra Solstice and next Saturday I'll be doing the whole thing myself at the Luna in Portland. I'm excited. Andy has been such a trooper with all my practice and really supportive when he had to go to work late and babysit at night so I can go train. These last few days back home have been crazy too with uniforms coming in, a practice Tri yesterday (which was almost the full distance and I did in just about 2 hours YES!) I'm not even sore today :). YES! And a lake swim this morning. I'm planning on doin an easy jog next week, trying out the bike I'm renting, and going to the pool for a short swim to work on 'sighting' but other than that I feel good! So I've got my background to keep me motivated and excited... wish me luck!!
