I was still recovering from a bike accident that I had 4 months before this race . I broke my AC joint in my shoulder a level 2 I also hit my head really bad that gave me a level 3 concussion . I spend 5 nights in the hospital and 4 months off work, so training for a duathlon wasnt easy, but I was up for the Challenge . I started to train with my girlfriend Patty who had done this race before . I really didnt know what to expect . I just Knew that I had a 5 km run , 20 km bike , 5 km run. I knew I could run and bike that far ,so I was excited . The day of the race Patty was great she took me on a test run and showed me where I would be biking and running which helps a lot .I was ready to compete and not just complete .In the past I would just go out and try to finish and have fun , but this time I wanted to place.
I dont know why but I felt like I could win this!
I crossed the finish line and Patty was there waiting for me . I placed 2 nd I couldnt believe that for once I was bringing home hard ware ! I couldnt believe after everything I had been through leading up to this race I placed 2nd !Hard work and help from friends is how I as able to do it ...thanks Patty xox
THIS IS WHEN DREAMS BECOME ACCOMPLISHMENTS
