First "Real" Day in Kona

original post 10-8-2009

Have you ever felt like you've done all that you can to prepare yourself for something, all to find out later you are still going to fall short. Last few weeks I've felt strong, rested, healthy and confident that this race will be awesome.

Now that Lindsey and I have been here for about 24 hours, there is a feeling...and overwhelming feeling like I've finally bitten more off than I can chew. But heck, I'm going to enjoy the ride anyway.

I'm about to compete with some of the most dominate and well prepared triathletes in the world.  Not only have the put in the time, but made sacrifices that I couldn't have even imaged.
