Hey, what's with the embarrassment faces? I mean, you can be however you want, but I'm sure you have overcome a lot and also worked a ton to get the results in your tri, as well as your fast, athletic look. Be embarrassed if you want Originally Posted by silver

Thanks Starfish! I don't generally like attention and always tend to down play my accomplishments.
But I did work hard for this. And doubly hard because of my wreck last year. I am mostly just thankful that I am able to train and compete after the wreck. And meeting my goals performance-wise is like a cherry on top.
a few random thoughts.....I talked to a gal who wrecked her bike in a tri about a month ago. She broke her collar bone and had several small fractures in her face around her checkbone. She's doing well but still recovering. She was feeling frustrated at the number of people who have asked her if she's selling her bike, expecting that she would never want to ride again. And then when she says she wants to ride again, discouraging her. I tried to encourage her about riding again. There is a freedom in riding again after a serious wreck. When you ride again after a serious wreck, you are rising above fear and pain and death. There is strength in that. And courage. There is risk in everything that we do. Everyone of us who rides is choosing to BE ALIVE...STRONG....COURAGEOUS

Silver, congratulations! Well done....and you look absolutely fantastic in the pics. You can be very , very proud of yourself. It's abundantly clear you have been working very hard and being disciplined in traning and diet to get you to where you are today. That is amazing and you deserve to revel in your accomplishments. Absolutely awesome!

(are you SURE you are in the 40-44 age group??? You look MUCH younger. I guess being in great physical shape will do that for a person!)check out my cycling log:
