No matter how well prepared you are (and you were), anything can happen, and it's completely out of your control. Same's true of a marathon, or even a 5k, of course, but the time spent suffering is .. very different, of course. You were dealt a crappy (er.. sorry) hand, yet you still pushed through and crossed that finish line. It wasn't the race you wanted, it wasn't the race anyone wanted you to have, but you kicked its ass when it tried to kick yours.<br /><br />Next year, it's payback time. Can't wait to train with you when we're both training for the same event. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090564591023689300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37430145.post-68891503888235328862009-06-22T15:14:23.042-05:002009-06-22T15:14:23.042-05:00Erin Whalen - YOU ARE AN IRONMAN.
