Non scale victory.. today was RACE DAY. I had so many excuses to back out but I didn’t. That was a victory in itself. Today I also learned that I had to move up to the 60-69year old age division even though I don’t turn 60 till September. I don’t know why but it was a blow to my ego, had to mentally regroup. Then, to make it worse I got my but kicked by a really wonderful competitor!! But I did pull a PR so coming in second wasn’t so bad. …. Ok to be honest there were only the 2 of us in the age group. 🤪. Happy I didn’t let my fears and excuses keep me from racing. Also so grateful for this group and being lowcarb. 10 years ago I had a hard time walking across the room!! This way of eating has given me my life back. I have to shout out my thanks to the Pelham Community Rowing Club for putting on the St Valentines Day Classic Erg race!! It is not my club but they are wonderful people and they put on a well run Erg race for youth and masters. The hardest 2000meters you will ever row!! So glad it returned from Covid!! Maybe next year some of the rowers here can get together at the St Valentines Day Classic 2024???
