My coach said me to before Griskus, "Jon, I don't want you to just go for a PR. You are racing now. I want you to RACE THIS!!!"
And I did my best, and this is my reward: An email. But a great email!

Qualified!
Just got this email like 2 secs ago. While this was not a goal this season nor can I go (mostly because it is sold out but MOSTLY because it is the day before IMMT 140.6), it just feels GOOD to have finally done something like this in Triathlon, especially after 5 years of hard work, and especially after moving up to a much more competitive age group.

ReplyDeleteCongrats dude. Proof that hard work does pay off.
ReplyDeleteKeep eating those peanuts!
You mean, peanut ;)
DeleteAwesome work - congrats!
ReplyDeleteBTW, you'd do both if you were man enough. :D
Burlington is only 3.5 hours from Mont Tremblant....hhhhmmmmm.....
DeleteI just choked on my water after reading cdnhollywood's comment! LOL! Congrats Jon! You are totally legit!
ReplyDeleteThis is kind of an ideal situation. You qualified, but you don't have to actually race. So you can talk about how if it weren't for IMMT you would have crushed the competition at Nationals. And no one can prove it wouldn't have happened!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! That is an awesome accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome...
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Print that email out, add it to your wall of race bibs.
ReplyDeleteSo your excuse is that it is the day before IMMT??? Come on man.... back to back race! You got this! haha
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Congrats, awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! What is the qualifying standard for getting into the USAT race anyway?
ReplyDeleteWow, congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteExciting, congrats! A couple friends qualified and raced it last year. I agree. Man up and do both, 3.5 hour drive is nothing ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Things like this really boosts the motivation.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, bro! That's something to be proud of! Too bad IMMT is the priority, but it's going to be so AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteFeels nice even when you can't go. Congrats on your accomplishment!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the qualification! i think you're copping out though... i mean how hard could it be to double up that weekend? ;)
