so the best thing it to put sunday behind me and move on. I've built the bridge and I'm over it. though i will say i learned a few things from it, and isnt that what this is all about?
i learned how not to change a tire. and that checking to make sure the tubing is not caught up in the tire, even in the midst of a race is a a step not to be glazed over.
i learned that i love this sport and competing more than i realized. i didnt think it would affect me so much to miss a race. but it did.
i learned that its important to cheer for the other competitors even when you are done for the day.
i learned that i have the best support group of friends and family who really care about me and want to do everything they can to help.(dogs included! ha ha. they came and sat with me the whole rest of the day :) )
i learned that in the whole scheme of things one day does not matter. race day or training day, there will always be another.
i learned that i still have a lot to learn about this sport, both mechanically and mentally.

YES YES YES, Kari! That positive attitude will always win out! I know how horrible it is to DNF when it is not under your control, but the good news is that you have another big race around the corner!!! Jen H. :)
