I took my time and made it all colored this year. I figured that I couldn’t let missy out do me and all…. But she did anyway.

DIDN’T SHE DO AWSOME!!!!

So as you see our numbers are 115 people apart. we are starting every 15 seconds… so IF they do it in number order I will be ABOUT…28 min and 45 seconds apart. NOW I don’t know that this is right. it is my GUESS! and I am hoping it will be…Because since we will both be DOING AWSOME! (power in words) We should get to the line at about the same time. WAHOOOO!

What a finnish that will be. For BOTH of us and ALL THE FAMILY there. It will be fun… wonder who will kick it up more? I know she is competitive enough to catch me. 😉 we shall see….

 

So the bike stands are done. game plan is starting to get into our heads. the pump is bought. THANK YOU SECRET SISTER AT CHURCH! and we have emergency kits on the bikes for flats. All the tires are trued and ready to go.

 

All that is left …. Pack us up, the kids up, get into the hotel, get the bikes into E.R., get a quick ride into get the feeling of the road, get stands all fixed, dinner eaten, alarms ready and the BUTTERFLY’S OUT OF MY STOMACH… Oh boy here they come again….

 

Once we are on the shuttle to get there… I will be worse. ready to pee I am sure…

Just keep us both in your prayers as we are out on the trail. I will have a link to you (Through the web GODDESS of COURSE) So once we are both safe I will TXT her and have her give you an idea of how we are all doing. THAN…

Once we stop to get our massages and we use the rolling pins while we shuttle back to the cars. we have a BIG surprise for allt he kids that have been sacraficing for us … while we train. These kids have been great.

Mine are used to it from last year. and all this winter. But Missy’s parents and KIDS. tehy have done so much for her to get where she is right now. Little J~boy… He is so sweet. I asked him to remind mommy when she hurts that I love her. So she would remember that I really am doing all this for just that. I push her in the pool because I KNOW she can and because she is ABLE…. and he…c ame through for me… and STILL DOES!

Little N~girl… Oh that sweetie. she has taken my daughter and I to a prom night with her mommy. made a bracelet for my daughter while her mommy made one for me. She has been quiet but yet supportive. While she worries that mommy WONT WIN…. We tell her. Momma has ALREADY WON…and will do so again on Sunday. she has been such a wonderful girl to me.Thank you to both of you babies. YOU ROCK MY WORLD!

Now Hubby…. took a while for you to come around and know that she was making this change weather you were on board or not. so when the truck started rolling away…. YOU RAN AND JUMPED AND HAVEN’T LET GO YET! thank you for doing that for her. Thank you for pushing her (even when I am not.) You have been instrumental for her. I notice that you always were and you continue to be so. THANK YOU

Now onto mom dad and sister…. WOW! you have ALL just pulled together to show her such AMAZING love and support. I CANNOT wait to see you and to thank ALL OF YOU IN PERSON!

My family…. YOU ALL KNOW YOU ROCK…. I probibly don’t tell you enough. so listen u p because I wont remember to tell you latter…. You all have been there. mom in the pool with me every morning. getting on me for talking to much… *BLECH* but making me move. you have been at every swim meet… Dad you are going to MY FIRST race as an adult. THANK YOU. You really don’t know how much that one means. Sis. all those swim meets and helping me here and there. and well… my family wouldnt run the way it does with out you in the back ground. someone should throw you out front more often. including me. so there… thank you sis…..
