Tri it... You might like it??

I meet with my triathlon coach tomorrow for the first time.  I am beyond nervous!!  I know I can do it, the problem is getting my nerves under control and honestly, actually going through the process and doing it.

I have been wanting to compete in a Tri for as long as I can remember.  The part that makes most people nervous- the swimming section, is the part I am most confident in.  I have been swimming since I could walk- my first swim meet was when I was 6 years old.  Being in the water gives me a freedom that you cannot experience anywhere else.  It might sound crazy, but I love swimming and being in the water.  It makes me feel strong, powerful and mighty.

The part that scares me is the bike part.  I don't know why it makes me nervous, but it does.  I figure though that with the help of my coach, I can conquer this fear.

I really excited about taking on this challenge.  Something inside me is ready to burst with confidence as I do this.  Now, comes the next three months full of training, hard work and perserverance.

I know I can do this- I'm going to give it a tri!
