Racine 70.3 Finisher

I have gotten a lot of medals since I started doing endurance events a few years ago, but I have never worked so hard to earn one. Unfortunately my race did not go very well at all, but somehow I dug deep and managed to stay in it and cross that finish line. I will share all the details in my race recap when I get home, but I'm proud to say I'm a 70.3 finisher!!!

  4. Wahoo!! Finishing any race is an accomplishment itself. I had a similar experience myself this weekend. Tough race but I finished. I just tell myself that EVERY race can't be my best one. Haha for sure I'm still learning lots in this whole running endeavor of mine. You are doing 3 EVENTS which totally blows me away. I am very impressed Michael!! Way to go girl:)
