It's that time of year again. Celebration (Race) time! I will be celebrating (racing) tomorrow at the St. Patrick's Day 10k. Everyone has been asking me if I am ready to "race". Well, the truth in the matter is mentally I am not ready, even though I have been training quite a bit. This will be my 14th year of racing competively, triathlon, duathlons, running, swimming, aquathlons and cycling totalling over 115 races. Lately, I have been content with training every day and most of the time it's hard training. I can see that I am getting in shape, but the word and act of "racing" still seems dull to me. I'm not sure if it's the "hardcore racers", the snappy uniforms and sleek shoes or the pain, but it just does not excite me the way it used to. Maybe I have the Brett Favre syndrome, "I'm just not ready mentally!" My point is tommorrow will not be a race for me, but something more of a celebration that I have been competing for 14 years and that I can still do it! Yes, I can still do it!
