Wow, the run sounds so painful but you gutted it out. Way to go!! Sorry to hear the race didn&#39;t go quite as you planned, but ultimately you really proved your mental toughness. I&#39;m very proud of you!<br /><br />And yay for Dee Dee as well. Our race sherpas are so important. They make us smile and are there for us all the way.

You sure didn&#39;t miss your goal by much man . . . just wow.<br /><br />That takes grit, guts, charm, determination and a whole lotta WES!!! Oh and FOCUS!!!!<br /><br />[I put charm in there to be funny -- at the very least I amused myself -- not that you&#39;re not charming of course]<br /><br />You and Dee Dee make a great team.

A true and wonderful sherpa!<br /><br />I had no idea some of the things you were going through out there on the run but you are a rockstar for pushing through them and finishing as well as you did. Don&#39;t discount the huge PRs you did get in 2 out of 3 sports either, because they were big ones!<br /><br />BIG HUGS from California - it was awesome to finally meet you and a privilege to get to cheer for you!Mollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17228735227119427610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28269773.post-42095867884803901572009-09-28T22:13:18.075-04:002009-09-28T22:13:18.075-04:00It was a rough race, but I had a great time this weekend.

Wes, I am so proud of you. You pushed through all of that stuff and got to the finish line. Talk about a killer bike! I like that - sometimes you don&#39;t realize what you&#39;re capable of until you push to the limit. So maybe you didn&#39;t break 6, but you saw what is possible. Dude, you are one of my heroes!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03706171809005188744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28269773.post-66113567972525797382009-09-28T22:01:31.683-04:002009-09-28T22:01:31.683-04:00congrats on your race. you triathletes always amaze me.
