I have a race on Sunday, my first off road tri of the season. I have worked really hard to get ready, and I am ready to go.

I have a couple of friends that wanted to come watch the race and cheer me on...and here is the weird part, I do not want them to. Sounds weird, I know.

I just want to go and race and do my thing. I sort of feel like if they come it will be a bigger deal and I want to just hunker down and do it.

I have gone to races solo, I have had friends come to some, I am ok with both, but for some reason this time, I am feeling sorta private about the whole thing.

One of the women got upset and I tried to explain it is my issue, not her and just what I feel I need to do. She did not get it. Oy.

DH is coming, I feel good about that, just not wanting a crowd.

Does that make any sense ???
