Putting it out there

I typically don’t write about my race goals…until after the fact.  That way, it’s safe.  No one can call me on it.  No one can call me a failure.  Which is really where I am going with this. My fear of failure is great.  So great in fact I would rather keep my inner goals quiet so no one knows, so no one knows that I did not really meet my own expectations.

After reading last years post about the race I’ve decided to change direction. I’ve decided to lay it all out.  So here we go:

This Saturday is the Life Time Fitness Triathlon (Oh God I’m nervous).

This Saturday, I would like nothing more than to kick some serious ass (I’m warming up, can you tell?).

This Saturday I would like to finish the race in 2 hours and 35 minutes (That’s 4 minuets and 48 seconds off last year. Is there anyway I can even make that without a wet suit? What about the transitions I SHOULD have been working on? Have I trained hard enough? Who knows who will show up that day?  What if I have a flat?).

This Saturday (drum roll please) I would like to place 3rd in my division!!!

Pheewwww.  Now you all know the good and the bad (I feel a little tingly).

Now that you know, if you could please send me some good vibes, thoughts, power, prayer, anything you got…I’ll take.

This year’s motto…LEAVE IT ALL ON THE COURSE!
