I'm nervous.

First of all, I apologize for another post on the triathlon, but that is ALL that is on my mind right now.  I have 5 days until the "big day" and I honestly cannot describe the emotions I am going through!  It is an up and down roller coaster and I am trying hard to hold on tightly.

These emotions aren't just because I am nervous about it.  These feelings stem all the way back to college and when I first got it in my head that I wanted to do one someday.  I tried to "train" but, alas, I was never serious about it enough to ever even sign up for a race.  When I finally bit the bullet and did sign up for the Ramblin' Rose tri... I knew I finally was serious.

Throughout all of my training, I've experienced a wide variety of emotions.  Highs, lows, you name it.  I've been motivated more than words can describe.  I've had days when the last thing I wanted to do was bike.  I've been so sore that it hurt to move.  However, I've developed muscles I never knew existed!  I've been so happy, I've been so scared.  I've been pushed to my limits and challenged in ways that took me to the next level.  I've actually cried while running thinking about crossing that finish line this Sunday.  Yes, I cried.

So, come Sunday morning, I am not sure how I am going to feel.  I'm sure I will be nervous and pumped up at the same time.  I have worked EXTREMELY hard on training for this event for four solid months now.  I cannot wait to see my results.  So, yes, there will be tears - tears of joy for finally completing a life long dream.
