From the Staging Area: Quiet Confidence

The time has come. I’ve registered, checked in my bike, gorged myself on carbohydrates, and queued up some brainless DVDs to enhance my pre-race digestion and relaxation. The only thing left now is to see how it all unfolds once I step into Lake Coeur d’Alene for the first leg of the adventure. One thing I know: The well wishes and support of friends and family over the past couple of days has been very uplifting, and I can’t thank you enough. One never knows how things will unfold in any type of racing, but right now I’m nervous, very curious, and quietly confident about the day ahead. Cheers.
