I wasn't in a race, but when I was biking to college once, some garbage got wrapped up in my front wheel and I tumbled down a hill, no helmet and got knocked out. I came to with some guy asking if I needed help and I was all "no, no I'm totally fine". I think it's a bizarre stubborn personality trait so it made me laugh when you were refusing help with blood gushing out of your leg. Way to go persevering and finishing!Professor SnuggleSluthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15156264930123746798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866629235525665903.post-64758693274229814192013-10-01T10:21:08.947-04:002013-10-01T10:21:08.947-04:00Thanks Tracey!

I remember it being hard, but I don't remember it as being anything but wonderful in the end. I did sign up for the Raleigh Ironman 70.3 because I was afraid it would sell out before I felt ready. I think I am going to get a coach for this one, though. I guessitmated training for this one and I think (especially in swimming) I was woefully unprepared!PugletGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10779811529140741484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-866629235525665903.post-44858194632220219102013-10-01T08:29:08.258-04:002013-10-01T08:29:08.258-04:00What an amazing story for your first tri!

The good news is that you will probably never have a race that is this hard... although I see you are talking about a 70.3, so I see more pool time and time on the road bike in your future. You conquered your fears (and a bike crash) and kept going until you earned that medal. AWESOME job!!! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704054346972119600noreply@blogger.com
