Subject: RE: Yanti Wants You as a Virtual Race Pacer for IM JAPAN!Yanti,
It's been a weekend of pure inspiration, hasn't it? I (along with at least half of the BT crazies ) followed your progress in IM Japan, with everything crossed that you've make it this time. Alas, dreadful conditions, 3 crashes!!!!, no hydration etc, all came together to thwart your dream. However, I've noticed that each attempt gets you further and further, despite all these insane setbacks.
I've was also inspired by Diana Nyad's story and efforts this weekend, with her 35 year dream of swimming from Cuba to Florida. I'm putting my neck on the line here and saying that it will NOT take you 35 years to achieve your dream, but remember what Diana said on exiting the water after 53 hours: "One is, we should never, ever give up. Two is, you're never too old to chase your dream. Three is, it looks like a solitary sport, but it is a team."
One of these days you are going to get there, and boy will there be one HUGE party when you do, with everyone from the BT world cheering you on!
Rest up, recover, and then Go Team Yanti!!!!
Cheers,
Jo |
