Off I Go....

The countdown has officially begun. I find myself blocking out the enormity of what I'm about to do. That may be a bit grandiose in the grand scheme of things, but in my mind, this is pretty big. That being said, my mentality is this:

"Victory Lap"

I'll worry about times, negative splits, etc. in the races after this. This one is just to enjoy the moment.

I kicked around the idea of podcasting this whole experience, but I nixed it. I want to experience everything without bringing along more geek gear. I am considering Twittering my experience, however. I've got it set up, but I'm debating whether or not to do it. You can click here to see if I have updates throughout the weekend. Exciting stuff, huh?

A big thanks goes out to friends and family. Without your support and understanding, I would not have been able to be at the starting line on Sunday. Big thanks also to everyone in the blogosphere who has passed along well-wishes for this weekend!
