So on Sunday, I did my first Olympic Distance Triathlon in years….wow what fun that was! And the great thing was that it was over pretty quickly so I only pushed that pain barrier for 2.hours and 42 mins!
  I had a great race, finished 6th out of 100+ in my age group and 36th woman overall – out of 950+  !!

I am clearly getting faster with this mended heart and living proof that (1) You should live your life to the fullest  and (2) you can return to competition following a major set back…no worries!  :-))
