My other friend, Carrie B. or Tri to Be Funny blogger sent me this on e-mail today...
1.) If there's ever a moment you feel like you're working too hard--YOU ARE! Slow down and get back within yourself. (unless you're sprinting to the finish line)
2.) Don't let anyone other than a race official pull you off the course. As Chrissie and Mo said, there may be times you want to quit or abandon the race. Don't DO it unless you medically CANNOT continue. Chill out for a while, walk, eat...whatever it takes to change the attitude and get back on the course.
3.) Only think about one discipline at a time.
4.) Consume a ton of calories on the bike. It will make all of the difference in the run.
5.) You've planned your race. Now, race your plan!!! (sound familiar?!?)
I cannot wait to watch you cross the line on Sunday night. I swear, I'm going to be glued to my computer all day!! I'm so glad this sport has led me to a new friend and I can't wait to celebrate properly!!!!!
Have the best day of your life and smile like there's no tomorrow! You are going to be an IRONMAN in just a few short days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Carrie...you are a true gem...so glad we are friends through this crazy thing called Ironman!!
About Me
- Colleen Renee' Wilson
- Comic relief and purveyor of all things rad. Mommy to Asher Andrew and Presley Edith - my miracles and loves. Colleen loves kale, flipflops, Dr. Seuss, singing too loudly, gallivanting, March Madness, palindromes, strawberries, Elvis Presley, a cappella song groups and (of course) owls. She has been charged with (and found guilty of) overusing the exclamation point! When she’s not non-profiting, you can find her practicing yoga, putting a needle on the record player, devouring a book or a new play, changing the world and doing her laundry. Colleen does not play the violin. While on her way back to singing and acting again she is also a mediocre writer and a compassionate friend to all. That is her, in a tiny nutshell you might say.
