About Me

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
I love gerbera daisies. 20something laid back gal with an Irish-Catholic background and a thirst for beer and whiskey. Above are the Irish rioting in Philly, I aim to do my best to uphold the tradition. This is the story of my Philadelphia takeover.

Defeated



I don't know what's going on right now but I feel like God is trying to tell me that I'm not supposed to compete in this triathlon or something. I've been getting the shit beat out of me ever since I began training in January. First a major upper respitory infection that lasted 3 months, multiple re-tears of the same quad muscle, a rather eventful fall on my face and tonight I got hit by a car and am nursing a less-than-happy quad muscle that was rammed into the bumper of a woman's car.

I'm starting to think about throwing in the towel for this tri and signing up for one in a few months. Both physically and mentally I am cashed right now and it's a mere 2 weeks away. Can I get my head on straight enough to be a competitor by then?

It's looking unsure right now. I'm going to bed now. Hopefully I'll have things more sorted out in the morning. I feel defeated and I haven't even begun.

poor amanda, you have just been taking a beating. But let's hope this is the last one.
