Hea...Thank you so much for your comment on my blog. Hearing from someone who had a similar injury and knowing that they are racing again and kicking butt (great job in your first half IM)is so reassuring. I was wondering how long it took for you to heal and really start racing again? I am terrified of this happening again. I am also starting to wonder if it is time for a coach since perhaps an outside perspective would help prevent injury. If you ever have free time and want to share more details and your thoughts on this injury, please email me at rebeccadewire@gmail.com. Your blog comment REALLY helped me yesterday since I got right after we arrived in CDA. Thanks again!Rebecca DeWirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415966459988763348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34635647.post-89070396694070847602009-06-16T20:49:28.533-07:002009-06-16T20:49:28.533-07:00Great job at the 1/2!

I had no intention to offend anyone.<br />I am not however, a seasoned triathlete by any means, and appreciate the hard work that all participants put into working towards a goal.<br />And if you knew me I think you would agree that other than a slip in word use on MY blog I am quite a gracious and supportive teammate, racer, sister, the list goes on. <br />Thanks for your comments.<br />JuliaGoBigGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11733710492405707464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34635647.post-1393309074088239722009-06-15T17:34:12.273-07:002009-06-15T17:34:12.273-07:00Nice race report...but seriously?? Dead bodies? ...Nice race report...but seriously?? Dead bodies? One thing that irks me to no end about more seasoned triathletes is they soooo forget what it was like to be a newbie... Besides, maybe those "dead bodies" in the water have a goal in mind, such as FINISHING a race after an injury, or some other reason for being slower than you. Watch your words try to be a bit more gracious to fellow racers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34635647.post-77990627258502693892009-06-15T15:07:25.159-07:002009-06-15T15:07:25.159-07:00What an awesome race for your first one - very swe...What an awesome race for your first one - very sweet! :)Charisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215285733527015606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34635647.post-57152569708316606302009-06-15T06:54:40.891-07:002009-06-15T06:54:40.891-07:00You rocked on your first half!
