Tri-ing to stay young!

Today’s the day - I’ll be registering in an hour or so. Interestingly, I’m getting butterflies as I writing this. I wonder if I’ll be choking back tears of emotion at the swim start, as I did at the start of my first marathon?
I chickened out and only watched the Underpants Run, fully clothed and on my way for a short bike ride. The ride was interesting. I was riding down East Lake Road at about 25 to 30Km and was being passed by everyone. My first instinct was to save face and speed up. After a block or so I realized that I was doing exactly what I’m not supposed to be doing on Sunday. I’s my race and I have to complete it the way that I trained for it and if I don’t, then I may not complete it at all! Besides, most of the people passing me were 30 to 40 years younger than me. Let’s see how well they do as Grandmothers or Grandfathers! Maybe I should start a “G” team for us “more mature” athletes?? Admission Requirements: 60 years plus with at least 1 grandchild to brag about on the course!!
Time to go register and then for a 45 min. or so swim.
Talk to you soon;
