It's eerie how you articulated here so many things I felt back in school. (Except always being the catcher in softball as a kid - for me, that was just last summer!). The biggest difference is that you stood your ground back then and did all those amazing things anyway! It took me until my 30s to find the courage to chase my athletic dreams.<BR/><BR/>You summed it up perfectly - "I’ll never be the fastest, I’ll never be competing to win but as long as I keep competing with myself, I’ll win." That's exaclty how I approach this whole triathlon thing and I've never been happier. I hope the same goes for you.<BR/><BR/>(Also - I always thought of the cross country kids as the <I>toughest</I> athletes.)ShesAlwaysWritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243898033808557580noreply@blogger.com
