While I've been training for the past five months or so on every hill I can find, I'm not a natural climber and I'm also built like a sprinter... A sprinter that still hasn't managed to shed off the extra 10 pounds post babies.
But on this fateful first tri of the season day, all the hard work I've put in paid off- not only did I win my age group qualifying me for the national championships, but I also came in 5th overall! In my wildest dreams did I ever expect such awesome results.
I've been putting in some hard miles in preparation for this season, now it's time to step it up further and ask myself, how bad do I want it? How much am I willing to sacrifice in order to be good at this sport? The truth is I don't know, but I'm a long way from being done.
