Sheesh....I seriously can't stop weeping! Excitment, gratitude, fear, anticipation, (maybe a bit of PMS) and mostly LOVE for a sister who beleives in me. Thanks!
believes.....yes I do know how to spell that word. We'll just blame it on the tears.
Hooray for Dixie for leading the way, sharing her wisdom, and inspiring us to kindle our greatness! Sprint-Tri or die!! I should've prepared for picture day! ;(
GO TEAM GO!!!! I can't wait to cheer everyone on!!
If I'm not having a baby, still at the hospital or seriously all screwy after birth, I'm going to be there to witness this. I am so JEALOUS and excited for everyone. I can't WAIT!!! Watching them is really fun, as I found out with Porter's and yours and Eric's, but I bet doing one is even better! I'll just settle for watching and cheering for now....
Good for ALL of you. You can do it. I will be there to either cheer you on, or meet you at the finish line spent from having completed another sprint triathlon. (I believe it will be the latter.)
Wow!!! Sooo exciting! I have toyed with the idea of "joining" the group ever since you posted that entry.... Biggest fear..... the swim! The biggest hold up..... thinking of getting pregnant.:) So when we decide for sure... you may be adding one more number to your roll call!!:) In the meantime, congrats to these women for accepting the challenge!
I am jealous, but your invitation has led me to start training myself for a local sprint tri in June. I haven't been swimming in years (besides playing around in a pool) but started out with a 200 yard swim and a 15 minute jog/10 minute walk. I didn't even kill myself! I've got a ways to go, but thanks to you, I'm gonna start my birthday right!
.I am a little slow in commenting! Might be the 80 hours of OT that I have worked in the last 3 weeks! Dixie, thanks for being willing to guide us!
