My last post was asking for advice on which of two triathlons to register for first, knowing that both will sell out. I got advice from lots of people, via twitter, comments, and emails. Of course, the advice was about 50/50 as to which one to take a gamble on. One comment, however, was the decision making comment. Not at the moment I read it, but not long after.
Just a few short hours later, I received an email from Mary with the subject line of Merry Christmas!!!!
And in the email was an attachment. When I opened the attachment, tears came to my eyes, and I was rendered speechless (an unusual event!). I had been given the gift of my entry fee to Irongirl Syracuse by the Train-This Multisport Coaches!
I am completely honored that they chose to give me this gift. And now, I feel the need to step it up, get a PR, and kick some Irongirl butt on August 7th. I can now do Green Lakes and Irongirl. I don't have to worry about one selling out before I can pay for it. This is truly one of the nicest gifts that I have ever been given. This is why I love the multisport community. Where else would strangers help a girl who is a little down on her luck register for a race? They didn't just give me an entry fee. They gave me hope. Hope that I can contiunue to do something I love, something that makes me happy, and in turn, makes me a better mother to my boys.
Thank You Mary and the rest of the Train-This team. I promise to make you proud at the Syracuse Iron Girl!
- PS; Can you send me your email? maryeggers@gmail.com...... I have something for you :-)
