Thinking about Janitha

I was at the cove the other day, when I saw this: They were wearing my favorite team!!! And the little boy had on my same jersey!!! Had to post it. Enjoy!

LJ Rough Water Swim 9.12.10

I finished it! I did NOT come in last place! And, most importantly, I had fun. See those yellow and red balloons? 2 sets of them? Yeah, well, that's the KIDS course. If you expand the picture, you can see waaaaaaaaaay out in the distance the balloons I was swimming to and around.
A mile long swim, and I came back to this finish line.

And I was presented with this:

Because somehow I got to be right in front of the 4 time 1st place finisher at the beginning of the race. When the starter gun went off, all plans to leisurely get a comfortable start went out the window and I SPRINTED as hard as I could to keep from getting swam over.

I was ahead of the 4 time 1st place finisher for a good 20 seconds, and I am proud of that! :)

I finished the race in 43 minutes and 2 seconds. I was 23rd in my age group, and 273rd out of all the women. I'm not sure how many women swam, but it doesn't matter. I FINISHED IT!!!! I was NOT LAST PLACE! And I had FUN!!! It's good to be me!
