Impossible!

"But when a thing has to be attempted, one must never think about possibility or impossibility. People quite often do what seemed impossible before they did it. It is wonderful what you can do when you have to." CS Lewis


This Saturday's brick session caused me to think about this CS Lewis quote. After biking for well over 20 miles, I had to immediately run for 15 minutes. (or at my pace just over a mile) About 7 minutes into my run, my calf just completely cramped. My legs had had enough of this nonsense! I reminded myself of the CS Lewis quote, briefly stopped to stretch out my calf and continued running. I finished and lived-- which at 7 minutes in seemed an impossibility. I'm now hoping that while the triathlon seems an impossibility-- I will be impressed with what I did when I had to.

Needless to say, today my legs are very very sore!
