Burlington
Part I - National Championships
17.08.2011
Select Items Packed for Nationals:
8 pounds of bananas (well, not really....)
7 puzzle piece notes (only 3 of which I've found so far..) <3
6 bottles of vitamins (I am my mothers daughter)
5 EPIC mix CDs (I really only needed one of them....since I spent a solid hour listening to "Super Bass" on repeat)
4 books / magazines - all tri-oriented (to read while I lay in the grass next to Champlain tomorrow)
3 pairs of sunglasses (a race pair, driving pair, obnoxious pair...all necessary)
2 dresses
1 blender
I can't even describe how excited I am to be here.
I am also so so so happy that I've already come up to get familiar with the course and the area. I just feel confident now. *Thank you
Went down to the lake this afternoon and ran intervals along the finish line strip.
This is going to be one hell of a venue when its ready to roll.
Afterwards I stopped into the "Healthy Living Market"....and got lost for almost an hour.
This place brought a whole new level of standard to organic & local groceries.
Trader Joes would be embarrassed to be next to this place.
Unreal. F-you 'organic aisle' of Big Y.
Other Up-Coming Races:
5150 Championships : September 2nd
Nations Tri in DC : September 11th
Race to the Toyota Cup Championships: October 2nd
(THEN a jump into off season....for two months of cycling around europe. No biggie.)
Quote of the moment:
"Begin Now."
Quite the crew coming up for the weekend....
I'm a lucky girl to have friends & family who are so supportive and AWESOME.
Understatement.
Updates soon...
Here's to peace, persistence and nothing missing,
