First IM for me - excited and scared! Looking forward to the journey!! It's hard to tell where the hitches are going to be but it looks like and history of the WTC shows that it will be a good race in an awesome setting. There always are hic-ups especially on an inaugural venue, the good thing on that is most of the 2500 will experience it so no advantage. Nothing to be scared of but if you are anything like me there is a nice "thump" in the ribcage on the morning of the race just after you get marked-up and realize this is going to happen. Then "it's on" and for the next few hours the deep thoughts go away. I still get the "thump" and I've done 7 of these things (2 inaugural). |
