Everything about it - reminding me how powerful the mind is, how important commitment and perseverance are, and how you can still have a sense of humor in the middle of pain (loved that 'fine, DON'T say hi to me!' - i wrote about the VERY SAME THING in my race report from vineman last year!). <BR/><BR/>Way to really suffer and forget the suffering so you'll go back for more. ;) <BR/><BR/>Thank you for being such a great inspiration!<BR/><BR/>SSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469099803097245627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-76015560766884675832008-07-17T15:15:00.000-07:002008-07-17T15:15:00.000-07:00Super job!

I had pegged my LT on the bike at 156, but after my super sprint at Callaway, I averaged 164, LOL! Nothing like a race to bring out the truth in our mind and bodies.<BR/><BR/>You are another one of those athletes that reminds me that the race is not all about training the body. Train the mind. The body will follow.<BR/><BR/>Well done!<BR/><BR/>BTW: I never mentioned, congrats on the write up in Tri Mag :-) It, too, was awesome!Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399853707178925175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-34999198332414720132008-07-17T07:19:00.000-07:002008-07-17T07:19:00.000-07:00Good job Marit.

The CO state TT had the extra fun of long grinders of hills (with an uphill finish) after i thought it would be flat since it is out by the airport. <BR/><BR/>Amber almost missed the starts of both of her time trials this year (although the first one was due to a silly long line at registration). <BR/><BR/>I hear you on liking to be early to things, I'm pretty onery to be around until we get to the airport or race site.<BR/><BR/>-EAmber and Eric Rydholmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174795482162074029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-89094234592074444202008-07-17T05:30:00.000-07:002008-07-17T05:30:00.000-07:00Great job Marit!
