My 6th Sea Otter was a success! It's been a bumpy road (hear the podcast here) and I am back to being healthy again. I was very nervous before the race and wasn't sure I even wanted to line up. However, the moment I was on the track with the other women, I KNEW I was in the right place. I belong on the start line racing with the elite women, giving it my all. Being healthy enough to race brought me so much joy and gratitude. We raced 6 laps and I expected to get pulled after just 3 or 4 laps. I was surprised each time I road through and they didn't pull me! Finishing on the lead and final lap was more than I dared hope for. There is so much work I still need to do to get my fitness back to where it was and I am ready to get back to it! No more travel for me for a few weeks, just hard work and recovery time!
