ndobbs: so a sixteen year old girl running better than you is what gets you training? ;p
I had to look up to see who she was and what she was doing that was so special. Didn't have to go far - front page news on the IOF website!!

Talent to nurture

Hammer: Thanks for the link!

Well Emily beat me (easily) in the team trials sprint! Then again it was my first day of racing in over 20 months. Definately talent to nurture.

ndobbs: perhaps more relevant motivation: Sandra Olivier from my former French club just got a bronze medal at the world masters, despite having suffered from innumerable joint and back problems and bust ankles and what not.

maybe you'll beat Emily again someday :)

Hammer: impressive

Thanks Neil but I'm not rushing back into racing anytime soon. I'm actually quite enjoying time off from training and racing but I'm sure I'll be going to races soon as my daughter drags me out (and hopefully the knees will be better by then).
