Silverman 2009 Race Report

Posted by: Vince

Although I thoroughly enjoyed Silverman last year despite the stormy conditions, I had no intention of being a participant this year because I was going to Kona. It wasn't a question; it was a matter of fact. So when I melted down on the second lap of the run course at Lake Placid, I was devastated.

Over the next three months, I picked up the pieces of my ego and tried to understand what had gone wrong. To be honest, I'm still wrapping my mind around this but I can tell you that I made some mistakes and there were factors that played a role which were not in my control. In the end, I put it all on the line to win big and I lost. It was a tough lesson and I'm surprised to hear myself say this but I think it's one I had to learn.
