The Great Race!


Wow! I finished! The Sprint Triathlon that is... What an amazing test of my will, strength and perseverance. I finished however pretty low in my age group but NO MATTER! I'm just glad to have survived. And yes I think I'll do it again. This time with a more calm attitude, some tweeks in my transitions and also my training and I know I can improve my performance.
All in all it's just a testament to our human ability to adapt to all kinds of situations. DON'T QUIT! Just because it was hard doesn't mean it won't get easier the next time. You can be more aware of what's going on around you, breathe, and just plain know what to expect. I'm fortunate to have had this experience. It has re-affirmed to me that I can do whatever I set my mind to. That makes me so happy! Who's in?
