I just finished my first triathlon yesterday and, while I didn't raise my arms and shout it to the crowd, during the last mile of the run, I kept the mental image of that woman you saw with me as I kept going, knowing I was doing the same. Thanks for the little bit of motivation at the end. :)Mindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10514323672420091425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970897000862477078.post-60070854245776564382009-08-14T12:41:48.008-05:002009-08-14T12:41:48.008-05:00Sounds like a very fun race.

Hopefully it is the start of many more. I felt like that when I finished the NYC marathon in 2002. It took almost 5 hours but I didn't care and it felt amazing! It's 3rd in line behind giving birth and marrying my husband. :)KBWogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744124678577622255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970897000862477078.post-32934020427832352042009-08-04T09:44:20.565-05:002009-08-04T09:44:20.565-05:00There is no better feeling that crossing the finis...There is no better feeling that crossing the finish line with your hands raised in the air.
