Pinehurst Morning

Uuugggggghhh. It's 5:45am and I'll be leaving for my last triathlon of this year shortly. It's cold outside to this Carolina girl. The thought of getting into the lake right now doesn't sound exciting. I don't even want to compete. I know, that sounds bad. I need to write it down because I want to remember this time next year when I'm signing up for races. I want to remember how burnt out I felt this morning and how I begged my husband to get back into our warm bed. I can't quit though, I signed up for eight and I'll finish eight race this season.

I'll be doing this race with my sister and my good friend, Meg. My sister has IT band issues so she may not run much. I just keep thinking to myself, "only three and half hours of racing then done for the year". Maybe I'll feel different after the race is completed. I hope I haven't burnt myself out on triathlon for the rest of my life.
