Ouch...

I didn't mention much about my Grand Haven triathlon experience, other than my times and scores. It was my first day back from being gone for almost two weeks, and..."Oh stop your whining already!"

Okay, Okay. I hear ya.

In any event, sorry. It was a truly wonderful experience. My mind and my body went through every known emotion throughout the 1 1/2 hours.

My body is still going through some emotions...its called pain! Holy crap. It started with my left heel. I had this shooting pain explode from the ball of my foot shortly after I crossed the finish line.

After seeing me hobble around earlier in the week, Andi, one of my teammates, helped me out with these awesomely-cool magnetic insoles. Within a day the pain started to go away.

But then I got a cramp in my right leg at swim practice. I don't know if maybe I was babying my left leg, and set myself up, or I didn't recover yet from Sunday, or..."really, stop the whining! It's getting to be annoying."

Well, Andi's magnets have been helping out, too. That, and the five pounds of bananas and three quarts of magnesium.

Man, I knew what it was like to be fat and lazy. It never hurt this much!

But then, I remember that I still got it easy. There are so many people who are afflicted and impacted by blood cancers, and I think they would gladly trade places with me.

I think I'll stop whining.
