My proudest finish

This Sunday will be my proudest finish in a tri. It's just a sprint, but I feel I will accomplish more when I cross the line than where I place. I gave up tri in Jan. because of life circumstances and going back to finish my doctorate. I was miserable for 4 months and decided that despite my full time job, 2 part time jobs, raising my son and working on my doctorate, I had to find the time to train again. I have worked really hard these past 3 months and have gotten my base back. To finsih this one in lieu of everything else going on in life will be awesome.

I guess for some of us, it's more about crossing the line then being on the podium.
