Thank you to friends and family who sent kind words of support and encouragement yesterday during the worst race experience Ive ever had. Two weeks ago, Lucy and I were running and had increased the pace slightly, it was hurting. We slowed and had a conversation. I told Lucy the following, No matter how tough or bad things are, never ever quit. When the mechanics arrived 2 + hours after my front wheel had burst the guys asked if I wanted them to call the sack wagon. At that point I remembered my own words to Lucy. This is the sole reason I decided to complete the race. The finishing time and race stats are irrelevant but I learned a lot about myself and fellow competitors on my very painful journey. When we got home late last night I gave the finishers medal to Lucy reminding her of our conversation, she replied, I knew you would finish no matter what happened I feel very broken today but I will quickly heal and remember the positives from yesterdays race experience, no matter how small they may be! Thanks again!
