an event to look forward to

we went to see this event today at mercer county park. we saw people from different categories of capabilities sweat it out in the event they've chosen to participate in, with that determination on their faces, and strangers cheering them on. i envied them for having the courage to do it, for i have been thinking of doing it but did not have enough courage to do it - i'm afraid i'd really suck in the first leg and be the last to finish in this tri-event. but seeing the average joe's and jane's do it gave me the motivation so i said to myself - next year, i'll be one of them.

see you next year.
