There is a lot of chatter around races tomorrow that may or may not have changes due to various things that cannot be controlled or predicted. I share my perspective as I too am toeing up to a start line tomorrow not knowing if weather will turn us around, shorten the course or even allow us to start. My fourth year training for this race was with the attitude of “I’m going to keep doing this damn race, until I get it right!” My friends, before I lace up my sneakers tomorrow I already know I’ve got it right.

I shared this experience with so many and grateful for that. There were the evenings spent sharing space on Sanitas, the mornings I headed out alone to find myself on a trail I had not yet found, the group runs, rides and strength trainings together where we pushed ourselves to all sorts of uncomfortable color zones. And the adventures to new places in the hills and mountains we see every day. Fuck Ya’ we live here! Time to be alive!

This year was going to be different, and it is. I’m different, my perspective about why I do these crazy things is different. I’ve got this right, I’m exploring new places, pushing new limits, sharing time with good people, and finding my inner rockstar.
