But when I read reports like yours about how you fought and struggled and trained and overcame to finish, and then have the grace to post about even the hard parts, it almost makes me want to TRY IT! Not today, but I *almost* can envision a time when I might be persuaded to try it.

So, keep on keeping on, because you are definitely inspiring.

I'd like to be original in my congratulations, but Karen said it so well. Seriously, my hat goes off to any of you ladies who compete, whether it be tris, TTs, road races, crits, etc. I'm just so impressed with your hard work and dedication. Great job!!!!
