There's no turning back now!
Jake, Jay and I are all signed up for a triathlon this weekend. They are veterans, I'm not and I'm quite nervous about the whole thing! My mind gets going and then the anxiety gets going. Will I finish? Will it take me hours and hours to finish?
Ok, so I do know that it won't take me hours and hours to finish, but I think what bothers me most is that people are going to be watching. I wasn't blessed with a personality like my husband's. He is confident and outgoing and doesn't usually worry about what others might think of him. We often tease him that he knows no strangers, but I think that is truly a gift. So, I'm trying to pump myself up... who cares if people are watching? Who cares if they laugh? Sadly, it's not really working.
Wish me luck, pray for me... I'm going to need it! While you're doing that, I'll be reminding myself that I'm not in it to win it (there's really no chance! LOL) and that just finishing is my ultimate goal.

Aimee, don't worry about the people who are watching - relish them. they are all there to see you succeed and to cheer you on!! GO AIMEE!!!!
Wow, I'm impressed! Good luck!
You are going to do great!! Who wants to win anyway?? LOL:)
No one will be watching... and those who are won't be laughing. If they are watchin' - they aren't running/swimming/biking - so they have no room:)
Can't wait to hear how it goes!! I'll be rooting for you!
Love ya,
Me
You go, girl! I'm quite proud of you for doing it! Can't wait to hear the post-race breakdown.
