"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

KSH, congrats to you
I think you've already been given lots of wisdom, and you have amazing dedication to see this through. My meager .o2 is to tell you to enjoy the presence of the moment... whether it be good bad or you're just not sure. It is not about yesterday or tomorrow, but being there in that moment...
and when it's all over with, give everyone in your life extra hugs for all their help along the way (which it sounds like you have already)... they may not be racing but I am convinced it's always a group accomplishment...
race sound and safe, we'll be thinking of you!

K-
Been REALLY busy lately, but I have been following you. I'm so happy for you, and envious! I want to be back out there too.
Go out there and get em!!
And when your on your bike and it hits you "I can't believe I'm riding my bike in an IRONMAN?!" - cherish that thought! You will remember it for the rest of your life.
Say hi to Mike Rielly for me. He'll be waiting for you at the finishline.
Race hard, stay safe, have fun!!

Awe, thank you ladies! *Wipes a tear*
Thanks so much!
I wish I could reply to every single one of your amazing posts... but I'm running around packing tonight! Heading out Wednesday at 5:00 AM to go to the airport!
Tri Girl- Loved what your friend wrote! It really fits! I will stick to my plan and race my race.
Colby- What you did is amazing! This time next week I should be able to say that I did it too! I will handle everything that comes my way race day! I'll dig deep and remember those days that training wasn't perfect and use that for strength.
RM- Oh! I have already planned that if the day gets tough I will remember that I am doing an Ironman! I might even scream it out to the spectators! HA!
Finally... my coworkers were so sweet and made cupcakes for me to send me off! My coworker who has done an IM decorated them with all this IM/tri related stuff. Too cute!
All right... off to finish packing then I'm heading to bed early!
I'll probably report more once I get there as I'm sure I'll have down time."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

GOOD LUCK, KSH!!!!!!!!!!
You, my dear, are amazing and inspirational. What you've done so far is, to me, even more impressive than completing an Ironman (which I'm sure you will do too!)
You rock!
