Less than four days to IM#2...

[Tri Girl]

I should have said I got 2 liters of IV fluid- not two IV's. I wasn't quite thinking correctly.

Just as a side note: yesterday after work I went back to the lake where I raced, got back on the course at the exact spot I got in the golf cart and DNF'd and finished those last 8.1 miles. I had texted a friend earlier in the day telling her I was going to finish my IM, and she called my husband and a dozen friends who showed up at the lake and surprised me by walking those last 8.1 miles with me. Then as I was coming to the spot where the finish line is- there were even MORE friends with pom poms, cowbells, a toilet paper finish line banner- cheering and screaming for me. I have the BEST friends EVER!!! My good friend even gave me her finisher's medal (which I gave back- but it was super sweet of her to do that).
I finished what I started. I had to. Although I don't regret DNF'ing, I had to finish that darn race- even if it was 2 days later. I had 5 friends come walk that last 8.1 miles with me who did the full IM on Saturday. I'm truly blessed!!!
