As 2018 draws to a close, let the reflection begin!!
2017 was an amazing and unbelievable year. I accomplished things I never dreamed possible. I had lofty goals for 2018. These goals were not realized. Not any of them. I didnt make racing weight, I can't do a pullup, I didn't qualify for 70.3 Worlds or Kona, and I had a beyond disappointing IMWI. Where do we go from here?
We keep. Moving. Forward.
I moved to NC, I'm slowly getting into a routine with my new job, and I'm barely making friends, but while my folks were shoveling out of 12 inches of snow, I went for a bike ride! My schedule should be evening out soon, the last part of off season will be planned out, and season will be gearing up in just a few months. I'm ready.
In super exciting news, Wattie Ink Hit Squad!!! I applied in 2017 and didn't get accepted for 2018 season. Applied for 2019 season and they took me!! Even after what I thought was a worse season. I suppose that goes to show you that there are always victories, even in what seems like defeat.
As of right now, season is as follows:
Red Nose Half Marathon, January 5th
Virginia 70.3, May 5th
Ohio 70.3, July 28th
Ironman Chattanooga, September 29th (my love is also doing this one!!)
It is going to be an amazing season. I'm going to get back to the basics and fall in love with triathlon again. Less pressure, more fun, phoenix rising.
