No Wafer Here: 8 Days 10 Hours to go....

With just over a week to go till the gun goes of for the Rotto Swim, I am going through all sorts of emotions. Excitement, nervousness, more excitement, thinking, organising, frustration, excitement, nervousness...it all goes in waves.

This will be the biggest sports event I will ever have taken on. At 44 years old. Who would have thought that someone who had, had an eating disorder for 30 plus years would have her shit together and be able to not just gain approximately 15kg, but also do it during over 12 months of intensive training. There are definitely things that we dream of and chase that can make such a significant difference in our lives. I know deep in my heart that I will make the 19.7 kilometer swim, come hell or high water...

I have been very blessed to have an amazingly supportive group of people around me. They have had to deal with my waves of emotions going from one extreme to another, keeping me on target with eating and making sure I don't over train. I have also managed to listen to my own body, which would never of happened previously.

Sharks...not afraid, jellyfish...not looking forward to, Swim...can't wait, the finish...bring it on, the pub...tall glass, lots of ice and bourbon with coke.
