Unfortunately, this year has a dearth of longer races on the back end of the season in this part of the world. I was thinking of doing the Boston Light Swim again, but other commitments are getting in the way. Looks like I'm "stuck" with some of the shorter (1 mile - 5k) type races, most of which I've done before. Still, if that's the worst thing that happens to me this year, I'll be doing fine.
On a light note, re MIMS: My brother's 2 sons (7 &10) had made up a bunch of signs for my MIMS crew (my brother & my wife) to hold up during the race. They mailed them to me since I didn't get to see them. They have drawings of sharks nibbling on my toes, me swimming through brown water ("Eric, why is the water brown?" "He, he, he - you don't want to know.") etc. Really made me smile.
Well, you have the right outlook, for sure! Once I was upset about something I missed and a good friend I trust said "that should be the worst thing that happens to you." And of course he was right.
Love those sign ideas! lol!
