A great reflection on a ongoing journey. I know you will continue to be successful no matter what
path you take. Stay in your heart and enjoy it one day at a time.

That was a great post. It does take a lot to juggle everything, believe me. We are behind you all the way, with whatever discission you make.

Lots of Love,
Barbara

Looks like I know you since you became a pro in 1997. It is without saying that you are a great friend and an inspiration. There is life beyond triathlon, I started retiring (albeit from a rather non descript age group careeer ) and it seemed impossible. There were reasons in my life why it happened, and I found happiness in these new priorities, goals, challenges and accomplishments.

Trust me, you will be FINE and THRIVE in whatever you tackle with the same passion and tenacity that makes you the athlete you are.

And there is more. Your 12+ years of training and not simply disappearing from your body. They say it’s one second / km / year you slow down after you hit 40 … That’s nothing, nobody will notice.

Be Great.

Gina … great update and a beautiful tribute to Chris, Gabriella and Blaisen. I love the input Karen Smyers gave you about re-prioritizing and not “retiring”, feel free to remind me of it someday !! I can’t wait for you to publish Part Deux of Moving On. I know that it will be just as exciting as all you have accomplished in your career and your life to date.
