More cowbell please..... Yesterday I completed my second Danskin triathlon, WOW what an experience. I considered not doing the race this year and only being there as the coach for my team. Since the Danskin tri is not a race to me, something I'm not competing in as much as participating in, I decided I make it my race also. I have had a lot going on this year, and didn't feel like I got quite enough swimming under my belt before race day. I had struggled with a panic attack in the Boulder Res just 2 weeks ago, and that fear did still tickle the back of my mind. I had my lovely assistant, Karen, there to photograph us, well as many of us as she could. This little series really does it for me. I saw a few of the athletes on the 5K and I knew I would be the last person to finish from our team. I was so happy when Tina and Maya ran out to find me on the run. As I approached the finish there was my team, to run me into the final stretch to the finish line.

It was so profound! Certainly something I'll never forget!
