Endurance sport...Definitely good karma, Patrick. <br /><br />Endurance sports brings out the best in everyone. Even in some of the most competitive situations, if one man is down, another will help. <br /><br />Data is important but no one can measure the feelings we get from participating and competing or the positives that come from it.<br /><br />Great post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08183174254927897857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-890638570271330832010-12-28T15:58:50.193-08:002010-12-28T15:58:50.193-08:00Nice post!Nice post!ajhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851129364728161965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850008492557142131.post-35807638375386077552010-12-28T15:08:41.423-08:002010-12-28T15:08:41.423-08:00Well done.

I'm sure you remember but in the 2009 Kona broadcast they discussed Chrissie Wellington getting a cartridge from a competitor. That has always stuck with me b/c that competitor knew they were giving Chrissie a shot to come back and win (which she did) but it was a self-less act.<br /><br />I truly believe that we as endurance athletes are self-less and give back way more than we take from this world.<br /><br />Great post Patrick. I am not only happy to have found the endurance world but to have found you in this endurance world.
