I've been last in several of the triathlons I've done, because I did them with friends, and we leave no one behind. So if somebody's freaking out about something, we wait. We help. We move on. We finish the course together.
In the races I've done on my own, I'm always at the back of the pack. I am just amazed to be there at all. Amazed and proud. To get to be a part of something I never dreamed I could do. That's why I love races. To be an athlete in the company of athletes. I figure, if I keep it up, and I pick small enough races, eventually I'll be the only one in my age group, and I'll get a trophy someday!L.

LOL! Lise, that's the exact advise my brother gave me. Pick your races right and you be the one who's the winner.
