It's so easy to quit when 'the plan' goes awry but you fought through it to the end and with that, have forever earned the respect of your HEP family and fellow competitors.

There's more good in this experience than we'll ever know. We say that experiences like yours are there to remind us that we are not invincible. Although, after reading your recap I'm pretty sure those types of experiences just confirm our invincibility. There was no way you could allow that day to get the best of you, sweet job fighting the bitch down! Sounds like a grand adventure into human will and suffering.
