I just got back from the race expo and I'm all squared away for Saturday's event. I snapped a few pics to share with you all so you can see how insanely beautiful this race is going to be on Saturday--forecast says high 60s. I've got plenty more to report after the event but I need to keep focused on balancing work with race logistics, nutrition and plenty of rest. Check in this weekend for results!
I must give special thanks to everyone here in the Active Online Community for your day-to-day encouragement. Thanks to Carrie for all the swim instruction, Jesse for the articles and tri talk, Airey for the expert guidance on the bike and gear, the ActiveX crew, Steve for the camaraderie and training sessions, Tara for the nutritional guidance, Gale for helping me balance triathlon with ultra running, my housemates and colleagues for putting up with my lunacy, Marie for always believing in me and last but not least, my east coast support system. Without the knowledge, confidence and energy that you all have so selflessly offered, I wouldn't be toeing the line on Saturday.
This race is for YOU.
Thank you,
~Toby
