Even finishing this race is an amazing accomplishment. <br /><br />We can't control everything but we can control our reaction to it. <br /><br />I think you are simply amazing!Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458902596339656206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579903153866419514.post-61336103752833791692009-12-09T10:56:23.749-07:002009-12-09T10:56:23.749-07:00**smack**

They are floored that you have the drive to do it. Remember that someday your grandkids will brag about how their grandparents did something that most people will never even dream of attempting. You are an inspiration...I run because you told me I could and I believed you. I finally understand why "PR's" are so important...but this time remember that you didn't quit even when you really wanted to and you have an amazing husband who stayed with you and finished with you. I love you so much...be proud..I am.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579903153866419514.post-13298930992613651932009-12-08T15:19:04.708-07:002009-12-08T15:19:04.708-07:00You sound so disappointed.

I enjoyed your succinct comment, "Me and flies." Between the mosquitoes at IM Cozumel and the flies at your event, I think I have added two more races to my never to consider list.Spokane Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322733412232169837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579903153866419514.post-87528010350570182292009-12-08T09:03:31.100-07:002009-12-08T09:03:31.100-07:00Something to add to your list - keep in mind your ...Something to add to your list - keep in mind your finish to this race in the eyes of your kids and your grandkids (and someday something even MY grandkids). To brag that 'grandma debi' and 'grandpa hartley' finished an ironman TOGETHER is plenty for us! Not one person I've told has asked me the TIME in which you finished the race. You are teaching all of us a lesson of what is possible with hard work and perserverence. Don't be hard on yourself - take that medal and brag about that finish!

Part of it, I'm sure, is that your expectations were not met on what you assumed would be an "easy" day. But your post is appropriately labeled: lessons learned. (Not that I'm judging you!) (I'm sure as a Virgo, you are hard on yourself and expected more perfection in your day.)Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12302710072433158197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579903153866419514.post-64475467044947628442009-12-08T07:45:19.645-07:002009-12-08T07:45:19.645-07:00Very poignant...I'm sure it'll be veru use...Very poignant...I'm sure it'll be veru useful for you in the prep for your NEXT IM.<br /><br />And H is STILL great!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5579903153866419514.post-79034789594245587512009-12-08T06:54:12.485-07:002009-12-08T06:54:12.485-07:00You always were a great swimmer!!!
