YAY Colby! I've been waiting for your report! Congratulations! This was your first tri, right?! That is a big, big deal. Great job! Your times look good, you didn't fall, you managed to swim, and I'll bet you're hooked!

I know so well those night-before-heebie-jeebies. I had them two nights before, did I renew my USAT membership? Why didn't they send me confirmation of my registration? Do I have earplugs? What if I forget something? I actually left the house without my running shoes, remembered, and went and got them. Hmmm, do I run in my flip-flops or my bike shoes...?

Bask in the knowledge that you've accomplished something wonderful, that most people wouldn't dream of trying. How cool that your mom-in-law did it with you. So when are you doing it again? L.
