Yes, it did.

We are part of your community, society, earth. We got the thrill and excitement of "one of us" doing IMC. A few of us are thinking, "hey, maybe it would be fun to do a sprint tri, hey, maybe a BUNCH of us could do it TOGETHER."

And look, the community is thereby strengthened. (literally and metaphorically)

A person's actions seem to always be farther reaching than they expect.

Yeah, maybe it was "just" a race, but: You done good, Yoda!
