Will I Stand Alone?

How will I feel come race day? Standing/wading/treading water with 1999 of my newest closest friends, how alone will I really be?
I will have family cheering from the sidelines.

I will have friends tracking me on the internet.

I will have the memories of those that have left us having lost the battle with cancer.

I will not be alone, but I Stand Alone because triathlon is about competing by yourself against the clock.
