He makes a good point

Sam tends to be a man of few words, so when he speaks, I do my best to listen. This comment he wrote about my race post will stay with me forever:

Let me get this right. While running you realized that all you need is inside you, you don't need to wait for some guy to show up, and you have people that will do anything for you. And you say you didn't have an epiphany while running. I would suggest re-defining "life changing epiphany."

I don't call SamnTerry MY PEOPLE for nothing.

I don't know Sam personally but I'd like to shake his hand because YES.

I attempted my first triathlon on Sunday. My husband has done dozens and I've cheered at nearly every one. I felt like an expert. So, I was shocked to completely and epically fail during the swim! I couldn't even make it to the bike. I panicked and hyperventilated for 40 minutes and made only one 750 meter loop (there were 2 required). I felt like a stupid fool.

Then, I asked myself, "When was the last time you attempted something that you COULD fail at?" I couldn't remember.

I've decided that my kids (and I) needed to see that it's ok to try something new and fail. It's more than ok. It doesn't make me stupid or a fool. It makes me courageous.

In the same way that your running epiphany makes you courageous.

Balls out.
