ZOMG, am I doing this again???? 
I never wrote my final post after last year’s race. I had so much to share, and at the same time I was so drained that I wasn’t able to put together a post in a timely manner. I’ve carried around the regret of not writing a final post for two reasons. One, I failed to thank everyone for their support. The fundraising part was actually the most touching experience of the tri; I was just floored by the generosity of, not just good friends, but folks I haven’t spoken to in years who were so supportive. Second, I failed to capture the emotions that I felt immediately following race day. It all seems like a distant memory to me now. 
I finished the 2010 Nautica NYC Triathlon in 3 hours and 10 minutes. Immediately following the race, I vowed to do it again this year and finish under 3 hours. That sentiment faded fast as winter smacked down on us.
So here we are, Spring. Training started last week. I wasn’t going to participate this year because the TIME and EFFORT and TIME that I put into training last year is something I wasn’t sure I could do again.
But atlas, Tammy Loh happened. She committed and because I promised her I’d do it if she did, here I am doing it again.
Here’s to the 2011 season….. {gulp}
