First off, I want to thank Endurance Films for accepting me to their Racing Team! It is a great honor and I can't wait to kick things off in Burlington on August 18th!! Second off, the perks I'm talking about aren't the physical gear or apparel (being a broke college student, those are definitely a plus) but the perks I'm talking about are the psychological boosts that come from being on a team. Becoming a member of the Endurance Films Racing Team couldn't have come at a better time for me. At the beginning of July I was tired, both mentally and physically, but then I found out that I would be joining the EFRT. I was overcome with excitement! I went on the website and read all about my teammates. Reading about their busy lives along with their triathlon accomplishments, gave me the motivation I needed to keeping me training hard throughout the summer. Now, with less than 3 weeks away until Nationals, I'm in the best shape of my life, I'm mentally prepared, and I'm greatly looking forward to my taper! Most of all, I'm looking forward to meeting my teammates, even though it feels like I already know them! Happy training everyone! Keep it up!!
