C'mon, Scott. Everybody smiles at Monty Python!! I love Julie's outlook on life. Everyday is a gift, believe it or not. It is up to you to enjoy it or skulk through it until 3..2...1.. times up and it's over. Trust me. I know about being slow and getting beat and laughed at. I choose not to hang out with that crowd. I race for myself. I want to improve and pout a bit when I don't, but them it's back to the drawing board. Somebody tech saavy needs to post the pick from GalaxyQuest. "Never give up, never surrender!" I have run more in the last 2 months than I have ever run at this point in a triathlon season, yet I have no PR's to show for all those miles of pain and agony. It is frustrating, but it will not ruin my life or make me a lesser human being because I am not a fast runner. Life will go on. This is the challenge on which I thrive. And everyone on Nibbs as fantastically supportive and encouraging. I don't think anyone on this thread has ever thrown out HTFU or Suck It Up Buttercup as advice when you are really down and venting.

A brief look at Nibbs: Dee - a triathlete in the making trapped at werk
Beth - not only a triathlete, but a professional, a supermom, and a very experienced air traveler!
Kendra - don't know if she's done a tri, but she has cutted out a few half-mary's with acute plantar fascitis(?) and a librarian to be reckoned with!
Sal - triathlete, runner, husband, father, businessman and of course, maker of cheesecake!
Heather - not sure if she has done a tri yet but she is definitely getting to be a tire changing wizard and if you need to set up sports tournaments or get approval for stadium spin classes, she's your woman!
Cat - triathlete, professional, courageous warrior against a chronic illness, but she will never give up! The big question is has she found her fishnets and made her pumpkin soup?
Julie - a part-time Nibbs, but a full time inspiration, and one heck of a sports photographer. Just look at her blog.
Kristen - a triathlete who loves to run and loves her wine and lovers her kids and her sugar daddy!
Jen - an incredibly intelligent triathlete with apparently very intelligent cats who steal car keys
Judi - triathlete who loves to run and is so dedicated to running she frequently gets her mileage in the parking lot at work. She also recently escaped a sucky job and keeps a very tidy house while working full time, raising two teenage kids, and training for tris.
Scott - you fit in here as a triathlete (yes, it's true) who has recently battled through a vicious divorce, moved cross country, can play a mean guitar(with attractive photos playing said guitar) run a marathon, introduce your GF to the wonderful world of cycling, and give your kids a healthy perspective of competition instead of the "if you don't win, you lose" mentally that your ex seems to love so much.

Well, those are my before bed thoughts. I hope I didn't miss anyone. You guys are the best. I can't count the times when I've gotten way too serious about competition and have really beat myself up that y'all have put it in to perspective. Have a great night!!

Heh, I think we should turn that into a bumpersticker and put it on Sal's car.
