Finish line, 2006 Duathlon World Championships
It took a little longer to get there than I wanted, but I was happy at the finish. This moment has been re-played in my head nearly every day since it happened. I proved to myself that I could compete at a high level despite having ulcerative colitis (perhaps the highest athletic level I have ever achieved). There were a few rough moments in this race that I was able to overcome (like dropping my cliff bar, doh!). Daily life sometimes presents itself in the same way and today I was reminded of that. I got little sleep last night and worried that today may be hard. However, I took it at my own pace and made sure I was hydrated and ate when needed and the day has gone very well.
