New goal for next year, and thank you M-Dotter.

So, in the wake of my sub-par performance yesterday, I have reevaluated my goals and have just one main one - get into the top 50% of the field in each discipline.  I'm there for swimming, almost there in biking, and have a LONG way to go in running.  In the final stats, I beat 17 people in the run yesterday, and 5 of those didn't even run.  I do want to thank the nice woman with the M-Dot tattoo on her shoulder for giving me a much needed boost on my run, by giving me some encouragement.  I guess it was karma paid back quickly, as I stopped to give a guy my spare tube, when I saw his blow out, and when I asked if he had a spare he said no.  I'd already seen some others walking and just felt bad to do nothing.  It took me about half a second to realize, "You aren't going to place, so why be a di@k and keep on riding past him."
