Moving forward...

I'm going to Chattanooga tomorrow to race the Chattanooga Waterfront Triathlon. I am going, and I am going to race hard, and I am going to have fun. I am going aware that my head has not been in the game for the last two weeks, and that I am nowhere near peak race shape, and I am about 5 - 8 lbs heavier than I want to be. But I am going because I am better than all this, and I am fed up with the "normal demons" that have been creeping into my head and trying to convince me that I can't do what I have set out to do. I had a long talk with my bike today, and we made up. We agreed to go out and kick butt on that bike course tomorrow. I also have a George Jetson looking aerohelmet that I will wear for the first time...and I won't worry that I might look like a poser...because I ain't no poser...nope...I'm the real deal. And I ain't normal...don't want to be, wasn't born to be, and never again will be. Watch me. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen your 1/2 ironman time. You are no poser whether that nasty little thought enters your head or not.
Have fun, race hard!

you will do great. wish I was there with you.

I just told Ronnie last night that I was going to order a new helmet. He gave me the blessing (like I needed it) so now I am off to shop.
