Not Tri-ing
Posted by Kym under Tri
Im not racing. At all.
Last night, my foot became very bruised and is now a different color then my other foot. The pain brought tears to my eyes many times. I couldn’t stand on it let alone walk on it last night. I am now on crutches.
I am very depressed today. Hubby is now trying to find a wheelchair we can rent so I can attend the race. There is no way I could stand around.
I am going to the race to cheer on my friends but its taking every ounce of energy I can muster to do so. When Im in pain (emotional and physical) I just want to be alone… to wallow in my own self pity. I dont want to be a spectator. I dont feel cheery. I feel a sense of loss because I want to be a participant! It’s going to be torture to watch. But I need to access the vein of good sportsmanship i know runs through me and be there for people i care about. Dear God, please dont let me be a blubbering idiot.
On the bright side…..
Oh wait. There is no bright side.

Kym, I’m so very sorry it’s turned out this way. I’ll be thinking of you, and hoping that it goes okay for you.
You’re a strong person, and a good friend.
Sending you peace, love and hugs….

Dear Kym, I’m going with the “rose colored glasses” outlook..It happened for a reason…I know sounds like poo-poo right now…but it will eventually become clear to you why you are not in this particular race. There will be others and now your training experience will be such an assit for the next challenge ….Love you! R

Oh Kym, I am so sorry. I know how hard you trained for this event and can only imagine how disappointed you are. Take good care.

I hope you are feeling better … emotionally and physically.

I’m so sorry, I know how hard you’ve worked on this.
In a ’silver lining’ sense, there will be other athletic events, after you’ve healed.
Take care of YOU first.

It’s been such a long time without an update. I hope you have healed and just are so busy you have no time for computer stuff!

I’m so sorry to hear about your disappointment, but I must mention just how far you’ve come since I met you all those years ago. You are an AMAZING woman!!!!! I can’t wait to read about all the things that you’ll be doing in the future. Viva La Kym!!!!
