Trying to Tri

If you'll not settle for anything less than your best, you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish in your lives."Vince Lombardi.

"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired....You've always got to make the mind take over and keep going."- George S. Patton

Just some inspirational thoughts for myself as I head into this weekend. SO NERVOUS! Let me repeat myself just so you really understand how I am feelin' S0 N-E-R-V-O-U-S! Ever since Brynlee was a baby I wanted complete a sprint triathlon. Here I am, 3 days to go and I am excited, nervous, relieved, curious, and last but not least hopeful. Hope I dont pass out, hope I dont drown, hope I dont drink a gallon of pool water, hope I dont freeze (it is supposed to be 57 degrees... no joke), hope I dont fall on the bike, hope I dont get a flat tire, hope I am not in LAST place, hope my legs can carry me through the run, hope I can dump a glass of water on my head during the run( seriously it is way more fun then it sounds) hope I can sleep Friday night (and that Holland will as well!), hope I dont gain 5 lbs in stress induced eating! But most importantly I hope I can enjoy myself and live to talk about it while sporting my new shirt :)
