Tomorrow is the day....race day! It was a decision 5 years ago this month when I signed up for my first full distance Ironman that started this journey....one that I had no idea would lead here!
I have been blessed with the most supportive husband-ever, & love & support of family & friends! I have the best coaches @jlhansen929 & @annebethrollins & an awesome team qt2systems.com.
Starting this sport at 51 has not been easy, but I have been cheered on by my adult children & this past summer my 2 grandsons cheered at my qualify race for Kona!
There are always people in your life who believe more in you than you do yourself. Joe's mom was one of them & the reason I signed up for a full distance race. She believed in me with her words "Do it because you can."
I have learned to believe in myself! And on race morning I will hear her words as I do every race day..."Do it for me because I can't anymore". She'll be the only one that has a front row seat to the race from heaven!
This one's for you
