We all have events that trigger cathartic memories where we know exactly where we are and what we are doing. Who was with us. How we felt. Our first finish lines, from 5k’s to Ironmans, and from “just finish” to podiums can be that way.
Of course, for most of us, September 11th is one of these events. It’s a day that makes us feel empathy, sympathy, sadness, and yet also very proud at the same time. Proud of the community and heroism that rises to the top during trials like that.
This week we have athletes racing to remember, athletes racing to honor, and all of our athletes racing because we are lucky enough to have that opportunity. We will always remember and we will always honor the victims of 9/11. Today, I hope everyone reading this recognizes how lucky you are to be alive. Seize the day. Carpe diem!
