I decided to give you guys a bit more juicy tidbits about my week leading up to Disney this year–so I have created this video diary for you guys to check out.  Hopefully it gives you a bit of insight about what goes on behind the scenes before race day.

I thought that it is about time that I shared some of my experiences at the race in Kona–so here you are–the official Kona recap!

I really have to say thanks to Gary T. For helping us out the last week before the race- we stayed at his place and had a very quiet and ideal race prep.

On the day of the race, I felt like I could give it all, but the nervousness was overwhelming. I wasn’t sure where to position myself for the start but I figured I should be fast enough to make it to the front right away, so I just took it out from the middle. Swimming out I was in the first pack but didn’t follow the first 4 guys- and looking back it was smart not to follow them.
