T-3 Weeks

T-3 weeks

THREE WEEKS. Three weeks away from actually training. It is my birthday today I turned 24, getting to the last spot on the young age group. Next year I will be in the 25-30 age group and I will feel old.

I was asked this year if I feel any different, and I gave it some thought this time and yes, yes I do feel older and different. So much has happened over the past 6 months and I have come to many realizations. I do feel older, when I turned 21 I didn’t feel any different but now that I am working and all of my friends are out of school. I have come to the realization that I am now an adult. When I was in school I still felt like a kid and did not feel like I could do whatever I wanted, I still felt shackled. I am not saying that I did not like school just that is how I felt. Something is different now, will update more later.

I am prepping a list of gear that I need to get, another list of gear I would like to get, and a final list of gear that is just freaking AWSOME but is just frosting on the cake when it comes to gear.

Spirits are high as I finalize my training schedule and figure out my sleeping habits, finding the best time to train in the morning so that I am not exhausted when I go to work. It’s still freezing (literally) in the D.C. area but I hope in a couple of weeks it will be nice bright and sunny and I can just head out o n my bike

More later
