I could not get warmed up. I have had hypothermia and I could feel that was where I was headed. At first, I was upset like you. I never quit anything. But I know I made the smart decision. It took about an hour to get warmed up. Our faithful Team Z mates stayed by me and made sure I was ok. I will probably never do that race again. I know I am not a cold weather person. I feel no shame and you should not either. It sounds as if your other events were a success. Keep the faith girl Now you will be able to provide good sound coaching to tell your kids to listen to your body. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021298250890341797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682486158808015390.post-50614412534418845972013-05-09T13:01:15.405-04:002013-05-09T13:01:15.405-04:00Tracy,

There are many reasons why we end up DNS or DNF. It is all about rolling with the punches, just like in training, when we have days with and days without. I have had these, where I was supposed to have a long run or bike or swim and packed it up 10-15 minutes into it, because the day was not an in-day... We have to learn how to listen to our bodies and interpret true fatigue, stress or whether it's just the CG (Central Governor) telling you to quit...<br />I firmly believe the head is 3/4 of the preparation for a race. Well done for trying, starting, pushing on and understanding this was not your day... and then putting you out there!<br />Heads-up, look forward and onward to better days!!<br />NicolasAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00006384581870641053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682486158808015390.post-10082719976779341802013-05-09T12:35:25.768-04:002013-05-09T12:35:25.768-04:00Tracy, this reminds me of my one DNF to date.

I went for a practice swim in Lake Michigan the day before, and was subsequently completely freaked out by the 2-3 foot seas. Race morning, the lake was slightly less choppy, but I absolutely underestimated the churn generated by 8000 triathletes in the water (I was in wave 35), coupled by reverb from the seawall. 200 yards in, I was mentally exhausted and asked a boat to bail me out. I felt horrible. I turned in my chip and decided "screw this," then hopped on my bike and finished the race. It was still a DNF because I did not complete the swim, but sometimes you just do what you've gotta do. You can train the mental muscle all you like, but some days are just not THERE. It's not only how we push through obstacles, but how we recover from our stumbles that matters most.Lzlhehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902509590204230365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682486158808015390.post-16846021907377562092013-04-05T20:14:33.068-04:002013-04-05T20:14:33.068-04:00Good luck, brave friend!!Good luck, brave friend!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13644588588023623372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1682486158808015390.post-49787164604936411402013-04-04T16:04:40.657-04:002013-04-04T16:04:40.657-04:00Marnee - you are an animal!!! :)Marnee - you are an animal!!! :)The Lifestyle Shackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988042723195135803noreply@blogger.com
