It's Triathon Day! And a Triathon Day Sigg Water Bottle Giveaway too!

++This giveaway is now closed++

Today, perhaps right now, I am racing!

I have my race packet -- purple swim cap included! My number is: 454.

There is my stuff all packed and that's the awesome transition towel I got in Miami, I LOVE IT!! Is it not the cutest transition mat ever???

It is officially the start of triathlon season and I'm doing the Escape from Ft. DeSoto sprint triathlon! Which means I was very likely up at 3:30 a.m., eating my bagel with peanut butter and Polaner All-Fruit in strawberry and drinking coffee (I'm getting nervous just writing this - my fingers actually just went numb! They went numb again when I was editing this post!)

And then it is quite possible that we left before 4:30 to get to transition by 5:15 because we like to get the good spots on the bike racks and have time to decompress before things get started.

This is the most excited and confident I've ever felt for a race yet! I've done the course a zillion times and I'm no longer worried about the swim. (Until St. Anthony's that is, I have some angst about that one but let's focus on one race at a time, shall we?)

And while we're at it, let's celebrate the start of tri season, shall we?
