The Butterflies Have Begun!

I have my first triathlon of the year, and it is the Gulf Coast Halfironman this weekend. I'm starting to get butterflies in the tummy, which is a great sign. Even though I'm not fast, and I will be closer to the back of the pack, I still get butterflies. It's not about beating others, or even my time, it's about proving that I can still push my body farther than most people. It gives me a good feeling to know that cancer, blood clots and broken legs can't keep my spirit down. I will be in the back of the back with other survivors, and i am proud to be one of them. The stories of triumph over tradegy at the back of the pack in triathlon keep me going, anbd I hope that i can inspire others to LiveStrong!
