Dave: Today Tessa and I woke at 5am to the sound of rain… more like a torrential downpour. Ahhh nothing like race day. Not only would I be the fittest spectator but I might be the only spectator. With a couple more “maybe I won’t do the race” remarks we set out to face the storm. I have to say I was very impressed with what I saw… women of all ages, shapes and sizes all standing in the pouring rain getting ready for the race. I realized that this wasn’t just a race of physical stamina but a race of “let’s get out there and have some fun.” And a lot of these women were doing just that.
I’m glad Tessa decided not to pull out of the race. I know her well enough to know that it would have taken a hell of a lot to have that happen. She doesn’t let excuses stop her, excuses are like pressing fast forward on your life, and she just doesn’t let that happen. So when I watched her cross that finish line, bad knee and all, like so many other times in our relationship, I was proud and inspired.
