Grrr! Thank You! and Congrats!
The Grrr: September 21st, 2009…This day had to be one of the most Disappointing days in my life. “I didn’t get to finish my Tri.” In the first leg of the race; I ended up getting kicked on the back my head and the paramedics wouldn’t let me finish because I was slightly dizzy. I could understand they wouldn’t let me finish, but it was heart breaking for me to stand there and watch my training go down the drain.
My Thanks: I want to say “Thank You” to my family and my good friends who supported me through my disappointment. It brings me great joy knowing I have them to show me the light in dark situations, make me laugh when I want to cry, and not to beat my self up over something so trivial. They continue to give me hope and I definitely know they will support me in my next Triathlon. But before I do another Tri, Derrick and I have decided to a 13 mile run. It’ll be held in San Diego and it will be some-time in January of 2010.
Congrats: Derrick, you are a Rock Star! I am glad I didn’t bitch-out and leave after what happened. Although I didn’t get to finish with you…I was happy enough to see cross the Finish Line. You have definitely opened my eyes to a new life and future. I look forward to a 13 mile race with you. But during our next TRI; I’ll be sure to beat your ass. LOL Bring it Sucka!
I will have pictures up later…
