Half Ironman

[desiderata310]

I can't say I'm thrilled with the time I got bit I am certainly thrilled that I finished. I completely my first ever 70.3 triathlon (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run) a couple of weeks ago.
The focus it took to complete the training was actually very good for me. I'm going to be doing a 'short' ultra trail race next.

lol. Totally understand this statement!

Desi, seriously, I hope you are giving yourself the credit you deserve for this accomplishment. The training involved alone -- such an incredible commitment. And what you went through on race weekend? True star material. Congratulations.
