I'm Gonna Tri


 
Tomorrow morning at the still-dark hour of 6:00 a.m. I'll be hauling my happy self and my wetsuit, bike and running shoes up to the nearby reservoir for my very first triathlon.  I'm nervous, but I do feel ready for my race. I've been preparing and training for months now and I'm ready to just get it over with, already! My goal for this race is just to finish respectably. I'm not fast so I'm not going to win anything, but even if I'm dead last I'm just going to have to own it and be proud of the fact that I even finished! I'm going to imagine all of you there at the finish line, yelling for me! :)

I didn't mean to maintain blog silence for so long but honestly, blogging just got pushed WAY down the priorities list. Right now, if it doesn't have to do with my race or my booth, it's pretty much not getting done. I am crafting like a madwoman and still I know that I'm not going to be able to get done as much as I would like. It's frustrating but at the same time, I'm working on booth stuff literally every spare minute I have so at least I can feel like I'm doing my best. As much as I hate to admit it, I'm definitely feeling like that decision to sign up for two markets a week apart was a mistake, because my fear is that instead of having one really packed-full booth, I'm going to have two 'okay' booths. Again, I hate that reality, but I'm doing my best and I can't do any more than that.

Wish me luck tomorrow morning!

  4. Waving my giant GO HEIDI GO banner at the finish line. So very proud of you and all you have done. Come November, you need to get the remote and a box of cupcakes and have a serious sit down. Until then - YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS!

  7. I couldn't even work up the energy to post a comment at that hour :) But I hope you had a hugely successful day. I have only recently begun running and I know what an amazing feeling it is to accomplish a goal like that - although I'll never do the swimming, biking portions.

    You are a winner just for tri-ing!
