So cool to hear about your history in that event as well. Its definitely an icon. I was very happy to be racing again and feel satisfied with the result. I have nothing to compare my time to so I wasn't focused so much on that. But then I don't focus so much on time as I do the process of the race. It was pure fun and I'm happy to come back to the sport with such a facinating event! Thanks Jeri! So cool to hear about your history in that event as well. Its definitely an icon.

I wish I had been there to watch you! I don't event know the results. How did you feel about your time? BTW, my first Escape was in 1983. No wetsuit swim into Acquatic Park, bike to Mill Valley, then a double Dipsea run. I think i've done some version of the Escape from alcatraz 26 times and I still think it's scarey fun! All the best and congrats! jeri What a great history meets today story with all the great metaphors (which no other event – well maybe besides the Dipsea — can do better).

I have been lucky in relationships though I like to think I'm just sort of picky :) I respect all of my ex's so much I am still friends with most of them. Its a good feeling and makes sense really. I would date them if they weren't cool to begin with! Don't be selling your soul any time soon. You are awesome just the way you are for sure. Thanks Stacey.

Most of mine are losers that I would be hard pressed to admit I had even dated, much less wax philosophical about former passions. I love the metaphor and congratulations on getting out there and rocking it. Most of us would sell our souls to the devil to have your "older" body, so you won't get a lot of sympathy here, but this is a very well written, thoughtful post for the more mature athlete. I love the celebration of all the 'spiritual' that changes with age without hating all the 'physical' that changes with age. Thank you from this (chronologically) mature woman :) Dude, I need to meet one of your ex boyfriends.

Mexico is the place to slow down and enjoy yourself at a different speed (slow down the mind and just feel yourself to be alive and enjoy a simple life!) I am truly inspired by you and I am more determined to keep my goal of changing my carrer from being a Spanish teacher for foreigners to be a professional tri-coach and sport psychologist. I've working hard to achieve that for the last 4 years (two more years to go) As you said, 2010 looks pretty good to me too (also a challenging one academically) . !All the best for you! Kidest regards! Noe Dear Terry

I have thought a lot about suicide (not for myself, thank god) but because some close friends have considered it and I have lost acquaintances in the community, former schoolmates to it. In fact, it was the suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalization of my then-boyfriend back in 1997 that led me to channel all my emotions from that trauma into triathlon training with you at the first clinic. Americans are scared of death in general, and suicide in particular is a taboo topic. So the more people talk about it, like you have, the better it helps to shine light and give hope to those who are suffering from depression, suicidal thoughts or the loss of a loved one. - Karen Terri,
