I published another new page on the website today. This new page, is a list of the race results from all of my triathlon races, my marathons and half marathons.
I had fun going back and looking up these results. The process brought back some very good memories and a few painful ones. I guess, that is why I decided to share this information. I have had some great races, but also a few bad ones, and I think it’s important that we acknowledge them all.
We all place so much emphasis on races, and when they go well, there is no better feeling. When a race disappoints however, we can also have a tendency to feel really bad… like we wasted an opportunity. The reality is, we all have bad races…. everyone!
My coach has a great way to put a bad race into perspective. He always asks me if I am retiring from racing, and of course I say “no”? He then reminds me that triathlon is a process and it’s time to look forward and focus on building for the next race. This is not easy to do, but it is true.
I hope you enjoy looking through my results. If you have any questions about any of them, don’t hesitate to reach out.
