Steve, It’s good to hear that it’s only a temporary setback and you’ll be back in the saddle in no time. Keep the positive vibes. Every race that you do, you meet another competitor and create a positive energy rush. A friend who was an Ironman Virgin met you at the race and was so excited – I met RemissionMan. As Suzy, who is an old friend of ours would say “ROCK ON”!!!!!

Hi Steve,

I think you have the right attitude about the situation. A DNF is never fun but it is just a race and the fact that it does not seem to be a problem going forward medically is a good thing. I think it is important to look forward and find another challenge and be happy everything is okay.

Now you know what that feels like. It will make you a better coach, a better dad, a better friend, and gives you a story that you can tell when people need to hear a good “gotta think about yourself” story.

I tell my girls all the time that you have to feel what 13th, 8th, 5th, and 2nd place feel like so you can truly appreciate 1st. This was your moment. You may not know why it happened now, but soon you will.
Hindsight is a bitch, but she never lies.

You’re still a hero in my eyes,
DNF and all.
