    I came. I saw. I voted. GO, BRAVE SARAH!

    We have a lot in common, though for me it's all cycling, no tri-ing. In the winter I do a super-hard spin training with racers and triathletes. I'm built like you - after the same amount of weight loss - and it took such courage to walk into the room filled with lean bodies and claim my spot in it - but I found out that I was judged only by the quality of my effort. I hope you find it the same in the world of triathlons. I will pass your info on to the training group so you can get their support.

    Can I just say that you guys are awesome. Seriously. I was a bit worried about posting this here and I'm really glad that I did.

    I'm amazed at how true this has been. I thought for sure that these people would leave me in the dust, and then I realized that it's not such a *secret* afterall. If you work hard and train, you get the respect.

    Sarah - well, you inspired me!

    I voted for you - Good luck.

    When do you find out if you make it - right away I hope. The suspense must be killing you.
