With a successful Winter Good Night raising money and support for TriForAmani and a successful Moe's fundraiser already in 2012, I was super motivated at my first race of the season this morning! Thinking back to my first race ever, The Azalea Triathlon 2010, this morning's Azalea Triathlon 2012 felt like coming back home. I've improved on the swim and the bike, and the run is still my weakest link. At one point, I needed to refocus, and the babies brought me through. I saw a friend running in as I was running out, and told her I needed a mantra. She helpfully yelled out a suggestion that I couldn't hear just as I was brought back into myself, to my mission, to my purpose. Needless to say the rest of the run was faster, less painful (thought not entirely painless, I must say,) and the finish line came quicker than ever. I took 1:40 off of my time from last year, which is a ton for such a short race! I'm happy!!! And I've already mailed in enough to support one baby in 2012. One woman, One race, one baby. Bring it. I love my TriForAmani!!
