After what seems like an eternity of planning, I am always amazed when the first race of the season actually arrives. Wasn't it just a few short months ago that I unpacked for the last time? With a prolonged 2011 race season, my last race was in November so actually, yes. I did just unpack a few months ago. But this time I was smart about it and rather than put things back in drawers, I created a "tri box" in the garage and once clean, everything went there. It made packing for this upcoming weekend a little easier.
On April Fool's Day, my 2012 season will officially begin with the state of Tennessee. This represents state #32. To say I am excited is putting it mildly. I have a very strong feeling this will be my best season ever. Networking opportunities are popping up and I am confident the message of early detection will reach a broad audience this season. Fundraising is going extremely well as I have nearing the $75K mark. So with 72 hours to go, most of the logistics of my 12 races complete (sans a few flights, hotels and car rentals), my body strong and fit..... the only words I can think of..... BRING IT!
