The big day

People keep asking if I'm nervous or excited. Yes. And then I realize they're talking about the wedding and I'm talking about Ragnar. I really have been way more mentally preoccupied with Ragnar than planning the wedding. I think it's been good to have something to keep me balanced while being engaged. At first I thought it was crazy to do two time consuming things within 2 weeks, but it really has been nice to not be able to devote too much time to one or the other. Added bonus, I dropped a dress size with all this training. Score.

This past weekend was finally the big race. It went really well. I met my goals for all 3 legs which felt really good. It also feels good to not have it hanging over my head. The day after there was no way I'd consider it again, but now a few days out I really want to do it again. Maybe even do a few of them in other states, you know states at lower elevation and fewer hills.
