Hey KSH

I wanna let you know that you're not the only one that wonders WHY we do it at all. I am slowish BUT i'm getting there.

Don't feel bad about being slow on Tri's-I came third last on mine & had to laugh at my placing...Not last..third last! Also, i was 5 min behind the folks in my tri group...I'm just learning how to run and don't care if i come last, i will get better & my aim for 2007 is to do an olympic distance tri....

As a mountain biker, i'm a bit slow BUT i'm not out to race...I may not be great technically but i go out every week & try to learn the trail & hone my skills-I too hate hills-* pea gravel hills..
On the karri cup ride(102Km) we did in march-I was behind the main bunch but way ahead of the team riders and rode mostly on my own. It was 38c, the first 3 sections were hills (pea gravel, rutted etc )& i wondered what the &&&&& am i doing here? The heat got to me but i made it halfway...

REMEMBER you're out there doing the activity-think about the other members of the population sitting on thier behinds doing nothing & complaining they can't do it. You're off your behind & out there!!! You're doing tri's !

I admire anyone that gets out there and makes a wholehearted effort. DOn't give up whatever you do.

Take care & a nice big

Cheryl
