Well, I am about to take the 3 hour drive to Austin to get my race packet. Then I will drive to New Braunfels to go over the bike and run course. I am really excited about the race. This will be my 1st one with an open water swim. It is only 500 meters. I was finally able to get my 1st OWS practice this past Monday. It worked out pretty well. Like Dan told me, water is water. I drift to the left so until I fix that I will need to sight more often than I wanted to. Race goals are to finish the swim under 15 min. to finish the bike without a flat, and to not walk on the run. Hoping for a race finish of 1:45, but again the main goal is to finish the race with a smile on my face. I am extremely excited because my wife, daughters, parents, and maybe my brother and his family will be here for this one.

I will no longer be a spectator, a dreamer, a wonderer. I AM a doer; not only a goal setter, but a goal achiever. I will lead by example rather than word. I will "DARE GREATLY!"

Good luck. Those are some great goals! They remind me of the 3 rules of Tri:

Swim: Don't drown
Bike: Don't crash
Run: Don't bonk
