1) Actually being one of the thousands that are walking around pre-race in a wetsuit
2) The overwhelming anticipation of the starting gun for the “mass swim start”
3) Having my pre-race Security Blanket & Pacifier (Jessi) by my side at the swim start 
4) Proving to myself that I am ready for this race
5) Seeing and appreciating all the amazingly fit bodies and knowing that I am racing with them
6) Trading cheers with the 23 other Tri Fusion Members that I know who will be racing out on the course
7) Racing on the same course as all the Pro Men Athletes, well actually all the men
8) Seeing those beautiful “Kathi Best” Cheer Squad T-shirts along the course9) Hearing my friends and family cheering out my name as I go by
10) Having the finish shoot in sight
11) Crossing the finish line and hearing them say “Kathi Best – you are an Ironman”
12) Seeing the Emotion and Pride in my husbands face when he finds me after I finish13) Completing a 3 year journey with a successful Dream Come True
14) Couldn’t help myself I had to add #14 because I wouldn’t be authentic if I didn’t admit that I look forward to actually passing guys along the race course, it does give me a boost of energy
