Testing results…

Again, I have to know what to post and what not to post.  I am not going to be the one who spills all our national secrets.  Hey, at least now I know how it feels to be the federal conservatives!

The testing was a shock to the system.  I almost said it was a blow to my ego, but I knew I’d be somewhere around where I am, which isn’t going to win any medals if I had to race tomorrow, but what else can I expect three and a half weeks into training?  I’m here for a long time, not a good time – so have a good time, the sun can’t shine everyday.  That’s not how the song goes.

The outcome from today is that I have been invited to attend a camp in Sacramento starting the day after tomorrow.  I say the outcome from ‘today’ as apposed to ‘racing’ because my invite has more to do with my track record over the years than my performance today – oh, and probably also something to do with my tenacity just to go through the testing today.  It pays to work hard all the time.

I will miss Easter for the first time with Mira, and I will miss Bowen’s first Easter ever.  It’s not like Bowen will know what’s going on – but I love how excited Mira gets on Easter morning.  Rachel is such a strong support.  She is doing her masters and raising our family on her own while I run off for 12 days.  I owe her big.

    Sometimes you have to make those difficult sacrifices against what you would otherwise wish. You are wise to realize you couldn’t do this without the support of your wonderful wife. Rachel you are a true partner in every sense of the word. HugsDxx
