Today is the day that my life will change FOREVER.
Today is 4 months until I am 30. Today is the day that I tell the world my biggest goal for my 30th year of living. Today is the day that I have been scared to face for over 2 months.
This is it, NO TURNING BACK.
This is it, NO TURNING BACK.
Today, I signed up to race in my FIRST Triathlon. I don't know who I think I am, or what I am doing, but all I know is that I am serious and I will do this.
The race is called Tri for the Cure and it is August 5, 2012 in Denver.
The race is for Breast Cancer, which is dear to my heart as both of my Grandmothers have had Breast Cancer and SURVIVED. All the proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen Foundation and I will start fundraising to give to the foundation, as soon as they send me the details. All of your support means the world to me, I will need it. I am scared, but I am determined.
The race consists of:
750 m (1/2 mile) swim
18.3 K (11.4 mile) bike ride
5 K (3.1 mile) run
I have 8 months to train for this race and I will be prepared.
My great friend Holly Fraccaro, who is a sponsored Triathlete will also be doing the race with me. We talk every day on the phone and she gives me great support and training techniques. My other friend Kristyna Nedele will also be racing and she is here in Winter Park to kick my ass! I am so excited to have some of my great friends with me, it means a lot that they are willing to do this. Thanks friends.
Again I will need a lot of support during the next 8 months of my life. Its going to be very hard. I will have to stop being the FUN Sarah a lot of you have known to LOVE. I know that its going to be a great thing, a hard, but great thing. Laugh if you want (as some as you already have) but when August 5 comes around, I will be the only one laughing!
Here is the website for the race.

ReplyDeleteYou are going to kick ass and I am so proud of you! Your training should consist of 2/2/2. Two days of swimming, two days of biking, two days of running. If you swim & bike or run on the same day always swim 1st. Love you!
