Subject: RE: Thursday night rant.... :)Welshy -
I know almost nothing about you, except that Comet says you can't spell (I don't know why, but that always stuck in my head ).
After reading through the brouhaha, your blog, etc., though:
You friggin rock. Go to Arizona, kick your own butt, push yourself, and have a great day.
My only competition in IM might be Sister Mary Madonna, and she could beat me today without even thinking about. That doesn't mean that I don't train, hurt, sacrifice, and give to the sport of triathlon. I've earned my spot (IMWA unless the lottery comes through ), and I'm making my own goals (sub 17, baby! ).
You now personify this for me. Look at the outpouring of support on this thread and the Ken thread. You've made something happen not just for your own race, but for lots of us who want to not be ashamed of our bodies, our performances, and our goals. I'll be tracking you on race day, and cheering.
