Teammates

I received some really poignant words this week from a dear friend in AZ. She said" Ironman is about partnership, friendship, and will. It's not about competing with each other, only with yourselves. You need your team support to get through and vice versa. "

Our team has come a long way together. We've had our moments and our cheers! And now we are only a short way away from the BIG DANCE! These last six weeks or so make the time we have left together a little bittersweet. Everyone goes into the last six weeks before Ironman a little mad. I mean there is always second guessing, the BIG hard workouts left, the need for sleep, and the balance of life. It is time as my coach says "to put on the big girl pants". We are almost there.. and we have to keep each other to make it in one piece. And when we finish Ironman, there is always the question of "What's next?!"

Side note... I found this on another Ironman blog.. wanted to share it. Kristina wrote "You can either spend your time at Ironman digging yourself INTO a hole or digging yourself OUT of one...it's that simple and you have that choice to make." She is doing IMMOO as well!
