Don't let 'em take the fight out of you

I just heard this song by Ben Harper and it kind of sums up where I'm at right now. I have a hard bouncing back from bad races when it's a one shot deal. There's really no other chance to qualify for Hawaii as an age group athlete right now because all the races are full. This is one of the reasons I want to race as a pro (among many). As a pro you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket like an age grouper. Pros can register for a race whenever they want even when the race is full and it can even happen on race week!! Anyhow I'm looking forward to making use of the fitness I built up and do some half irons and oly dist races.

Don't let 'em take the fight out of you.
