Dear Marci!
Yes I'm talking to you; the 19 Year Old Newbie Triathlete from 2004! Today is March 13, 2024. I don't know if you know why this day is so important; but I'm going to tell you all about it so keep reading. It was a cool, crisp, and overcast morning in Athens Texas at the Cain Center YMCA. It's now been 20 Years also 2 Decades ago that you accomplished something you should be really PROUD of; you crossed the finish line of your first triathlon. You snake/serpentine swam up and down the lanes at the indoor pool. You then cycled 14 miles on an out and back wide open country roads (and even a kind of busy highway) bike course on your Specialized Sequoia Sport Road bike. To finish it off; you ran a 3.1 mile run on an out and back course on a path and very low traffic country road. Marci; you became a Triathlete 20 years ago today. I don't know if you ever thought that this many years later; this day would have so much meaning. Believe it and do it with all the happines
