Subject: Challenge to my fellow triathletesThis is different from the challenge forum, so please don't move.
As many of you know, my season is done due to two herniated discs in my neck. I can't even ride in the MS150 in two weeks. That one really hurts. Well, to add insult to injury, I am still fundraising and went to the MS office to drop off a couple of checks today with the bike coordinator and she hands me my t-shirt and RIDER NUMBER!!! DUDE!!! Thanks a lot. I really needed that.
Well, my rider number was to be 703, I still have it in the van, but can't bear to look at it. I have a DNS approaching for a triathlon next weekend, one for the MS150 the next weekend and I may still make my October tri according to my therapist, as long as I follow her instructions and my therapy.
So here is the challenge. My goal for the MS150 was to raise $1000. My mom was diagnosed with MS in 2003 and I always ride for her. This will be the first year I have missed since I started cycling. Can my fellow triathletes pick me up and help me make my goal?? $5, $10, $20 or more. Whatever feels right. Help me out y'all. It's going to be hard enough sending my team off on those days without being in the saddle. At least help me reach my goal before the start so I can feel a little less crappy.
