Race Weekend!

Hi All! I'm very proud to report that I did my first triathlon since having my two kids (4 1/2 and 2). It was a real struggle to train for an event with two little ones, but I did it and I'm really happy.

Here's what I want to share: running, cycling, swimming, triathlon, tennis, raquetball, speed walking, ultramarathoning, kite surfing...whatever! EVERYBODY can do it. I saw people of ALL shapes and sizes working hard and turning themselves inside out to complete an incredible goal. People aged 12 to 70 competed this weekend.

You guys, I saw men and women who mere mortals might disregard as being "unathletic" or even "overweight" completing a 1/2 Ironman Triathlon (1.5 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride on a really brutal, hilly course, and 13.1 miles on hills)! They turned themselves into superhumans! People missed the cutoff time for qualifying and they didn't care. They just kept going! It was SO inspiring!

It was as if limits didn't exist for them.

I was reminded over and over of limitless possibilities. You are limited only by your desire. If you want to achieve a goal, you can. There is no reason you *can't*. It might not be easy, but you can get there on sheer will. I know it because I saw it. I watched thousands of people achieve the impossible this weekend.

You can too. Keep going.
