Comaraderie

I've run into a few other people that I know and it feels good to have some comaraderie in sharing race strategy and acknowledgement of the challenge that we will all face at the XTERRA National Championship race (http://www.xterraplanet.com/utah/usaChamps.html) on Saturday - 1.5 mile swim, 30K mountain bike, 10K run. It does feel a little weird being here on my own - I miss my family, whom are a big part of my inspiration and my friends, with whom share my love of sport - but it does allow me to be deeply present in the experience and totally focused on the race.
