This morning we're taking off on a six or seven hour drive to Sun River, Oregon for the Pacific Crest half-Ironman. Yay!
It's so funny: I'm excited about it, not nervous at all, and when I think about how I felt last year before my two halfs, all I can say is what a dramatic change.
I guess planning to do a full Ironman really puts these smaller races in perspective. :-)
I'm feeling good; it's been a weird week. Tuesday I was completely down in the dumps, moping around, refusing to exercise, practically falling asleep standing up. And yesterday I was the opposite: almost manic, walking around like I had to hold myself back from a run, and feeling incredibly strong and powerful on my strenuous Wednesday ride with the boys.
It sort of feels like I'm on drugs, without the drugs.
One day at a time, right? It will sure be nice to get away today. Not sure how bloggy I will be from Sun River, but if I have internet access and something to say, you'll hear from me!

Woo hoo! I shoulda known you were racing! Have a great race!!!
Wow, I guess perspective does change quite a bit when you have Canada looming on the horizons.
Good luck, girl. Can't wait to hear all about it!
Good luck Jess! Can't wait to read the race report!
Have a great time this weekend! What part of Oregon is that in? Just curious, I have lots of family that lives up there. Looking forward to hearing about it when you get back.
Have an awesome race chica! Man, we'd ALMOST be hooking up there - had to change my schedule to the High Cliff Half on Sunday. Best of luck and have a blast!
Good luck- have a great time (at that "little" race...)
This might sound odd, but I came across your blog and it's very interesting!
P.S. When I first read your title I was shocked. You're a very pretty woman! "Fat Girl to Triathlete" didn't seem to fit!
I'm going to read the whole post, but I HAD to comment as soon as I saw your time! YAAAAAAY!!!!!!!
