I love testing out my mettle at races!  I’m just now figuring out how hard I can really push myself in a race situation, but I love being able to measure progress in my running & triathlon, both on the time/speed level as well as by how ready and comfortable I am for the races. I’ve also come to enjoy pushing myself in races and seeing just how hard I can go.
