Get passionate

If they are tears of joy
then start a flood.

James Kelly

What brings tears to your eyes? Is it a sense of relief at making it to the finish line? Is it the pain or is it the sense of accomplishment and empowerment that comes with what you knew all along? That you could do anything you wanted in life, you just had to find the start point, the confidence, the drive, the sense of self.

Once you understand that inside you there is a spirit greater than anything you could imagine, and once you find the way to tap into that spirit, you will meet all obstacles with the same resolve that you do on race day. Adapt and overcome. One step in front of the other, so that every day of training and racing and every day of your life makes you greater than the day before.

Don't be afraid to shed a tear or two in the process.
