The season has come to a close and I would have never imagined I could have done all I was able to do this season. It is thanks to great coaches, family, friends, and the rest of my support staff. My last race was the PATCO Pan American Championship in PVR. I had a decent swim, good bike, and struggled a little on the run. When we got off the bike, I asked what place I was in and was shocked to hear I was in the top bike pack - wow! That was a first, and extremely surprising. I ended up running the 3-loop course with two other girls. On the 3rd lap, the Canadian accidentally went off course and ended up gapping me and the other girl. The Canadian crossed the finish line first, but was disqualified for cutting the course. It was quite sad. I mentally struggled when the Canadian gapped us, and got gapped by the Brazilian as well. However, it ended up being a great race for me - I ended up 2nd, and teammate Jillian Petterson ended up 3rd. It was a good day for US athletes with 2 women and 2 men on the podium!
Thank you for all of your support. I really appreciate everything everyone has done for me. I am blessed. I wake up in the morning and am shocked at everything I have. It is amazing.
Although I'm done traveling for triathlon, I still have some trips ahead of me. I am heading to Orlando today for work. Should be a good week.
