One thing I learned a long time ago is that you can't continue to have a "pity party" about things. You have to put a time limit on it and move on. I guess I have had so many trainers (3 to be exact) in the past that told me it was impossible for me to do a race over an Olympic distance. I just don't need to hear this kind of commentary again. Oh..did I mention those trainers each got an email copy of my Half Ironman finish pictures :)??Trigirlorlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357401054434855982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325531192095315467.post-69215049547206138492008-08-07T15:21:00.000-07:002008-08-07T15:21:00.000-07:00You won't know unless you try!!Positiveness and pe...You won't know unless you try!!<BR/><BR/>Positiveness and perseverance got you your weight loss - it will also get you to Ironman!!!<BR/><BR/>So, go out there and give it everything you have.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325531192095315467.post-67373937753650386592008-08-07T14:17:00.000-07:002008-08-07T14:17:00.000-07:00hang in there girl - go out and kill this 85 miler...hang in there girl - go out and kill this 85 miler - and come back with the mental game strong - think of a mantra and repeat it when the going gets tough - also repeat it when things are good. <BR/><BR/>hang in there - you have time before IM - you are on track - hector has your best interest in mind - some times coaches make the tough decisions for thier athletesCoach Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13219357712196624184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325531192095315467.post-15894262561170959352008-08-07T10:57:00.000-07:002008-08-07T10:57:00.000-07:00You CAN do it!

You are more focused on your training that I've ever seen you before. Take a deep breath, a hot bath, and know that you have people who believe in you.

Of course, your coach knows you better, but I have to say, when a woman puts her mind to something...Think positive thoughts! I'll be thinking about you!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706171809005188744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325531192095315467.post-11473958201832458032008-08-07T08:25:00.000-07:002008-08-07T08:25:00.000-07:00Missey,I did not know you had talked to Hector and...Missey,<BR/><BR/>I did not know you had talked to Hector and he said that he was worried you will get hurt.

What an amazing journey! I truly admire all you triathletes. Whew. It's a struggle for me just to run, let alone swim and bike. You are amazing and inspirational!<BR/><BR/>Sorry you're down. I always say it's better to try and fail than to not try at all. Half of racing is just conquering the fear to try. You've already beaten all THOSE people who won't even try. You're already an athlete and a winner just for racing.JenZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05139848428275996101noreply@blogger.com
