Fizz-i-pation!

A word that means Wildflower is coming in THREE days and I can't wait to be a tri nerd again!

I'm excited and nervous and ready...I think?!? I'm ready to get there, pick up my race packet, check out the course, and hang out with all the other triathletes. My friend Elaine will be there doing her first olympic distance and I'm always extra brave when she's around, so I'm not worried about the lake this year. Well, not much anyway...

It'll be good to have a friend to hang out with and calm the pre race jitters before the waves start. She can remind me to put my goggles on BEFORE I start to swim.

And I can't wait to hit those hills on the bike. Me and my little mountain biking butt are going to smoke those roadies. Just think of how many gears I have to play with! Climbing on a road bike clipped in on flat, smooth pavement? Sounds like cake.

I can't wait!

Wildflower is huge cheering crowds, aid stations with water and gatorade and cheerful volunteers. Professional timing chips, and a finish line you can actually see. Plus a Tshirt *and* a medal.

Wildflower is spending time outdoors in the beautiful hills of Monterey doing all the things that I love; swimming and biking and running.

It's about conquering fears, testing limits, pushing yourself and enduring.

Wildflower is where it all started a year ago.
