It was such a cool experience to go from anxious (at the start) to I can do this (during the bike) to l am doing this (during the run). Lots of great learnings to apply all of the teachings. Body was strong, fueling was solid. Course was hill/ windy…. I have a lot of work to do on the bike. Overall. 3rd in the novice category, which I will take a podium knowing it may be a long while before I see that again.
You (Jason) and Carson were with me the whole way. Where you have your tattoo, it inspired me to have the kids write messages on my arm. They were there to encourage me during the bike and then I wore the “why not” hat during the run and on the podium.

Thanks for encouraging me down this path. I had a moment when I finished sitting down looking out over the lake. Tears came to my eyes as I took in the moment and Gods amazing gift of this life.
