Everytime I look at my pictures from past races and events I always feel that someone else did those things. For me there's a whole different psyche that emerges in these races. You did it though and no one else. Got the medals to prove it. A friend and I was just talking about this phenomenon.

Look who's talking! You did great. Just a little while before the race and after your hospitalization you did not even know if you would make it to Portland. <br/><br/>Throw the self-critique out of the window, you do not need it, it's just clutter.
