Major kudos to my daughter Erika who demonstrated outstanding intestinal fortitude by doing a full triathlon during yesterday’s HOT weather. It was hot merely watching her, let alone doing it. By the way, to do a full triathlon, the participant starts by swimming 1 mile, jumps out of the water, sprints to a bike located in a predetermined area, cycles 25 miles, returns the bike to the predetermined area, and in the last leg, runs over 6 miles in a cross country format.

I admire her willingness to take on the triathlon challenge. And, do it. Her finishing time?………it doesn’t matter. Like Sir Edmund Hillary said, “It’s not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves”.
