Dare to TRI...

Do you remember when as children we would dare each other to do something that required some degree of courage or stupidity?  It was more of a game than anything else, which always produced, well... interesting results.

Recently I have tried to carry this simple game concept into my adult life. However, I don’t need anyone to dare me. I'm daring myself.

Last weekend I participated in the Dare to TRI - Maple Grove Triathlon.

With each new challenge I dare myself to do, I learn a little more about myself. On this particular Saturday morning, I learned...

I am way more competitive than I am willing to admit. I become emotional when stressed (shocker). I am mentally and physically stronger than I realize and not to sweat the small stuff.

Most importantly, I learned how blessed I am to have a huge network of supportive family and friends!  Each and every one of you were there for me when I needed it most. 

Early on I said I wasn't trying to compete, I simply wanted to complete.  Mission accomplished!



Call it what you want... a dare, a goal, a mid-life crisis, or a check on your bucket list.
It really doesn't matter as long as your having fun.

So, slap on some lipstick and do something daring, be something daring, try something daring.
Dare to be different. Dare to be outrageous. Dare to fail. Dare to win or simply Dare to inspire.

Dare to TRI...
