But it's suppose to be a "C" race......

I keep to myself. I go along day by day, quietly and happily doing my training in my own little type A personality world. And every so often I will do a race. Take this weekend, for example. Kodiak is holding its annual triathlon: the Earth Day sprint. It's a fun race, but one I don't often take very seriously. This year is no exception. I have a more important race in May and my "A" race of the year in July, which will be my first 1/2 IM.
So this race. The Earth Day Sprint. Just suppose to be a C race. I don't care much about it because I live in a small town and there will probably only be 15 or 20 people racing anyway. I was just going to putz along and have fun. You know, treat it like a brick workout. And then I read this in today's paper:

Two ladies look to knock Van Curen off her pedestal.

Former Earth Day Triathlon winner, Tari Lindquist, and Bree Witteveen, who has been training for the Sourdough Triathlon in Fairbanks — the longest in the state — should be Van Curen’s main competition.

Um...what? Knock her off her pedestal. Hadn't really planned on it. Hadn't really even thought about it. So now I find myself with a major dilemma. I know the smartest thing to do is continue with my original plan and just have fun with it. But now it's like someone has directly challenged me. They are calling me out! I know what you are all going to say:

"Resist the urge, Bree"

"Race your plan, Bree"

But, I also know what each of you would do if you were in my speed laced shoes right now. YOU WOULD RACE YOUR ASS OFF!!!

Making it happen....or maybe I shouldn't!

Bree

P.S. It's snowing.....again.
