My reaction! :)
My next scheduled race is a sprint triathlon but it isn't until July 14, which is after the deadline. So I needed to decide whether or not to sign up for a race ASAP to take advantage of this opportunity. Finishing in top 10% of my age group would mean either winning 1st or 2nd. To be safe, I'd have to win my age group to qualify. Would that be a reach for me, especially at a sprint distance triathlon? Yes. But will I let that deter me from even trying? NO.
I don't feel like I'm even remotely close to being ready to be on the big stage like Age Group Nationals, but that's where my dream lies, so I cannot let fear keep me from pursuing it. If someone opens a door for you, you walk through it, right?
I just signed up for the Y-Freedom Tri on June 30th. Looking at last year's roster, I will need to win my age group to earn a qualification spot. Am I ready for this? I don't know, but I have a lot of work to do the next nine days!
Ahh!!! Excited and extremely nervous.
