Kacie- I just met my coach for coffee and he told me that he is really having to pull the reigns back on one of his female athletes that tends to sign up for things without a thought to training properly and recovery....
You are an amazing, strong athlete with mental toughness++++. That you perservered when things got tough, it's like what V said. It's what you're made of and that It will only make you stronger.
Congratulations on IM #2 and your courage and strength.
