  • Comments: I have never been so proud of such a bad performance in a race. I almost didn't run this race at all, and then several points throughout the race, I wanted to just give up. But I didn't...I couldn't give up and call myself a triathlete! How could I face people back here on BT if I knew that I could have finished, but didn't because I just couldn't HTFU. For several hours after the race, I refused to wash my numbers off my arm, I wanted them there as a badge of honor...a reminder of what I had just done. I think I want to do another Tri...not sure if I can this year, money is such a big issue, but if I can, I want to do a sprint...something smaller to try to get over this whole open water swim thing.
