This weekend I competed in a local triathlon in my hometown. The race slogan is “To Finish Is to Win”, which turned out to be very fitting. My sole goal for this race was to finish. When I first started considering this race a few months ago, I had loftier, specific goals and times I wanted to meet – yet as the race got closer I realized those were not safely achievable (as in, I would have to overtrain and hurt myself). Taking the advice of others, I modified my gameplan and just concentrated on having fun, and finishing, which I did!
