No Pain no Gain

Today at RBC came excited to race at the road race with other paracyclist, while focusing on my training and racing in triathlon I still enjoy racing in cycling events that prep me in this journey. Today not only did I raced but was part of something special as I completed mile 12th I have a very sharp pain in my lower back, always use to training in a time trial bike and racing in a upright bike will do it to you, well trying to get through the pain it was impossible to ignore while turning on to my next lap I hear my 4 yr old daughter screaming in the side line and saying it’s ok dad! Your ok be careful I love you….. it was then when I had found my focus to ignore the pain and get through it to finish the race, got super emotional and started tearing up knowing my daughter was there to hype me up .
