well, today (5/7), i used the gift god gave me, the ability to run, to do my part on a multirace.com sprint distance co-ed relay team. Our usually swimmer decided to go solo, in support of the cause of the Tri-canes, & for the personal satisfaction of proving she can do it all if she wants to.
As team captain, I recommended she accept the challenge, even though I personally want her always to start in our scheduled events. In the past, I saw the talent & ability of another swimmer (J.G.) & was elated when she accepted the responsibility to replace our current swimmer. She did not disappoint & no doubt will be on-call in the future. Although addressing issues, the cyclist performed admirably & our combined efforts was awarded with success- we placed 1st!
As team captain, I always stress that there is no I in TEAM. All must give their best & hopefully, it is sufficient for victory. if one struggles, the rest must step it up. Even if I get a PR, if the team fails, that achievement is irrelevant. Extra thanks to the replacement. The team now moves into the lead in the point standings.
