In just a few more days, I will start my rituals.
In just a few more days, I will stand in front of a wall of numbers and feel the thrill of seeing my name on it.
In just a few more days, I will watch in wonder as a Sharpie transforms me into a competitor.
In just a few more days I will feel the collective energy of my sisters, and be swept away.
In just a few more days I will once again throw myself at the mercy of the gods of triathlon, give them all I can spare and hope to be found worthy.
In just a few more days I will do these things with all the requisite joy and reverence, but this time I also do them with a newfound appreciation.
Because this time I'm bringing my future along for the ride.

Nice post!
Best of luck at the race :)
I look forward to hearing all about it. Best of luck, enjoy and be safe (meant in a supportive, not preachy, way).
Have a good time, and be safe! (Meant in a TOTALLY preachy and supportive way.)
You'll have to make sure you get pictures at this one, so you can show the future mini-you his/her first triathlon. :-)

Ummm I gee, I'm honored, but I don't think I'm really your future. ;) (Ok, you can hit me in the arm for that one on Saturday.)
Have fun in the race! That was a two kleenex post. Thank you for sharing your journey.
