So like I said, I’m at the airport. Waiting for my flight home, reflecting on the HIGHS and LOWS of this weekend. The lows not being in our control shall soon be forgotten, but the HIGHS will NEVER be forgotten and thank God for that!
the LOWS……..
- paying $200 for a bike box to travel
- having to drop out of the race while still being in top 5. Two flats on the bike and no more spare tires. The hubs was escorted back to transition with this look on his face. Don’t you just want to hug him?
When this is your profession, it can be tough to stand and watch as the other pro men finish, but He did. He stood and cheered on his fellow athletes! Now that’s a true athlete (in my humble opinion, hehe.)
the HIGHS ……..(so many to be thankful for)
- the PEOPLE! Like I said before..so many great people that we got to meet and make connections with. The race directors, the volunteers, other athletes, the locals, etc. (Sue, Tawnee, Krista, Jim, Carrie, Sam… you all know we just adore you!)
- The weather. It was perfect. Blue sky, no wind, lots of sun.
- For me, just being able to see the hubs race is always a blessing. But this race was different. It was like his mental block was gone and all that hard work and strength was clearly visible. 2nd out of the water and on the bike course.
- And last but not least, the beautiful Spabettie (Kristina). Her and sweet Basil came out to watch the race and say hello.
How amazing are blog friends? Truly Amazing!
I made her try out the RECOVERY BOOTS as well post race. hehe!
So there you have it folks. The highs and lows of life. But I think the Highs FAR outweigh the lows.
I’ve got more to share, but I think I’ll just soak this in for now. My flight awaits.
Lets hope its smooth sailing yet again.
Cheers,
LC
p.s.
The hubs told the airline agent about his race and she waived the 2nd half of his bike fee. That’s good stuff!
150 comments:
That is awesome that they waived that fee! Glad to hear that you think he is doing great although it is a bummer about the tires! Glad you were able to still enjoy your time and not let that ruin it:)
I'm happy I DID get to hug him! and you! so great to meet you two, and I'm just going to say AWESOME JOB on the part of the race he did complete!! he was doing great before things out-of-your-control happened.
I wish you guys had even one more day! safe travels and SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER! <3
Kris, you're amazing! What a joy to meet. Thank you. Can't wait for september!!!

So glad they waived the fee!! So sorry to 1) not have made it 2) to get the recap on his race. Wish we could have been there!! Safe travels :)
Heck yeah! There is more to life than recipes and workouts and I love reading about it.
So true that everything has its highs and lows. It sounds like the hub did stellar in spite of not being able to finish. That's an emotional test for an athlete but it sounds like you've got quite the level-headed guy!
So glad the airline agent waived the fee!! And wow, your husband sounds amazing...to sit there and cheer when you have to pull out of the race has to be incredibly difficult. I am constantly amazed at the strength you both have together in this journey together. You are absolutely two of the most inspiring people I know. By a long shot. XOXO!
Aww, love this post. The support and love just shines through. Your husband is lucky to have such an amazing and beautiful and loving wife! Especially during times like this - that must have been SO FRUSTRATING for him to have to drop out due to the flats, especially since he was having such a good race. The silver lining? That he DID have such a good race even without the finish. Here's to the next race, right?? Save travels!! PS. jealous you got to hang with Kristina!!
I had wondered if you were going to get to meet up with Kristina!! So jealous. I am sorry the race didn't go so well, but glad the positives out weighed the negatives.
Jo, I'm sending this comment to the hubs. I think you just made his day with such kindness! We appreciate such support.
Can I hug u?
;)

Hey LC! A bit of bad luck lately. Here's hoping the next race goes more smoothly. When is it?
How sweet for local bloggers to come see you!! That is so wonderful -- I love this community so very much =) And even more than that I love your ATTTIUDE and I love hearing about your life! Never feel guilty for not posting a workout or a recipe. Honestly, your life and your personality in this blog is what keeps me coming back =)
Lindsay I'm sorry to hear James had to drop out! But I agree with you that he is a real athlete -- cheering on the other athletes! And I'm glad he got that fee waived too.
You have such a good attitude, I love it! And I'm jealous that you got to meet up with Kristina -- how fun!
I can't say it better than SquatLikeALady...my sentiments word for word.
Hey - so sorry to hear that James had to drop out! Ugh!
But...if it means anything, I love the looks of the poster with his pic/ name on it! So very cool.
Just remember that we are all where we need to be at each moment. The tides come and go, but as long as we reamin true to who we are and our internal compass, all is well. It's not always an easy ride or journey, but it's ours and it's beautiful.
In celebration of GF-ness, I made GF zucchini pineapple bread for our yoga teacher training pot luck dinner (graduation!), and set out the extra loaf for people at the studio during the day. It was received very, very well, and unknown to me, the hub of one of the teachers has Celiac's disease. She took a bite and responded, "Oh wow! This is REALLY good! You should have a bite!" He agreed, too!
I told her I'd send her the recipe, but she realized she'd never make it. One day I'll bring it in mini muffins so they can freeze and eat when needed.
See... we got the GF world covered when you're enjoying hub-spectation! :-) Just let us know when you need to step in in writing. ;-)
Peace and Joy!
i love hearing about the weekend races and always look forward to your recaps! sorry he had to drop out, but yay for him doing so well!
Awwh your hubby is such a great sport. Amazing!
Love that you got to see Spa Bettie too - she's such a doll!! :)
I love highs and lows - I try to focus on good things, but sometimes you need to recognize the lows too!! It's important.
I LOVE reading race recaps - the good, bad and ugly! It is motivating to me, plus I love your perspective on life! Keep posting these updates!
Travel home safely! Your hubby is amazing and so humble and might I add so good looking. :) Two flats! What are the chances. I am so glad you are able to keep a clear vision and positive attitude about it all.
Those recovery boots look amazing. I am jealous you got to try them out.
Safe travels home! I'm happy that you are able to stay so positive with all that happened! And it's awesome that your hubby cheered the rest of the competitors on!
Wow - to DNF due to flats yet stick around and cheer for the other athletes? That's not just a sign of a true athlete. That's a sign of a real Man. You are both awesome. Love the race report and the life report. Keep em coming!
I love your race recaps and the honesty about the ups and downs of being a pro triathlete. I cant even imagine how hard that is. Im so rootin for ya two though and praying for some great future races. You two are absolutely AMAZING! Keep on rockin!
BOO and YEA in the same post! I was following the Rev3 feed yesterday + wondered what happened--so sorry to hear about the flats. He was really racing well too! thanks for your recap and for letting "us" know what happened. the YEA is for waiving the bike box fee- nice to see people taking care of each other! blessing to y'all for a smooth trip home! i keep seeing those recovery boots--gotta figure out how to try them out :)
aww what an amazing perspective your husband has! so inspiring!
when you've got love on your side and an amazing partner, such as your hubby, the lows are never really as low!
it's hard to hit bottom when you're sitting in the clouds! :)
Thank you chrysta. Its so kind of you to say that. Hope your weekend was relaxing!

Ah laura, you're awesome! Thank you friend. Hope your training is going well!

Of course you shouldn't feel guilty for not posting a recipe etc!
I love reading every aspect of your blog: I would really like to do a triathlon at some point and getting an insight into how the pros race is really interesting for me. Bummer about the flats though, but I admire your hubby's attitude a LOT. I would have been sulking on the sidelines and putting banana skins in the other athletes' way ;)
xxx
I love hearing about your life just as much as your recipes/workouts etc. It's so neat what your husband does and that you get to go support him and watch. Hope your flight goes well!! <3
your husbands reaction shows what a true gent you married- it takes real guts to cheer the others on
i'm off out to a cycling event soon with work! my resistance to the cycling bug is waning pretty quickly!
also, i need to grill you for recipe ideas in prep for the trip... pop by and say hello!
thanks K! it does take guts, i agree. Grill me anytime. Luv the new design on
your site as well.

Triathlon awaits you!!! go for it!

Thats awesome on the waiving of fees. I have to read the race recap becaue i thought he came in second, confused! I did not realized that he was so professional. Wow you guys are the the power couple. I love it! Have a safe trip home. As per gluten free posts, why are you so worried about or guilty? Your blog rocks and take it where it goes :) you have a niche. it makes you stand out and we lovee you.
wow steph, thanks for those words. definitely brings joy to my ears! hope you
had a wonderful weekend. Any good runs?
Lindsay

Goodness, I think I'm going to have to travel to one of The Hubs' races just so that I can try those funky-looking recovery boots! Love it! Actually though, recovery boots or no recovery boots, I think I'm going to have to travel to a race just so that I can meet YOU! Lindsay, I am always inspired by your optimism...Recapping the highs and lows of the weekend is such a wonderful way to acknowledge the not-so-great moments and celebrate the little things that make life so wonderful. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey to Portland! xoxo
me too! Shoot, next time I'm getting a LONG layover there. I need some JG time
ASAP! But to think you'd come all the way out to the airport to hang is even
cooler.
<3!!!
Lindsay

I'm thinking about you two. Being the supportive one is so hard too. Sometimes there are just no words to make it better and that feels so defeating! Keep your chin up and give the hubs a hug!
Oh and meeting Kristina...you lucky duck!
oh would you? it would definitely be a HIGH to meet you! I'll see if I can swing
some recovery boots too. haha.

Boy he does look like he needs a big hug in that photo, sorry about the lows. Glad that the highs were right there to give you both some smiles.
Man, sounds like the bad was bad and the good was good! Glad your spirits are high!
Oh my gosh----you got to meet Basil!!!
What a nice post, and how freakin cute is your hubs?! I feel so bad for him, but can tell he is taking it as well as he possibly can. He's lucky to have you on his team for all the lows and HIGHS!
GUT-WRENCHING! No!!! To be that amazingly awesome at something is spectacular to behold---and we can get food and recipes from lots of blogs. I like your food & recipes, too, of course, but I get goosebumps reading about the tri world. And--the heartbreak here. I'm betting it's almost as hard to be the cheering section as to be the main event!
YAY FOR SPABETTIE & BASIL! Love seeing you all together!
Bless! Mr. Cotter looks like someone stole his spirit. :| I know this isn't the case, but that's just how doggone sad/awkward his face is.
You two have amazing and truly AFFIRMING attitudes about life, and proof of that is how you can find highs in what started off as a crummy weekend before the weekend even began. It looks like y'all had a GREAT TIME! :)
I had heard about James bad luck with flats from some QR folks :( obviously a bummer, but you and James know it's only one race of out so many! And yes. That face is adorable.
You are such an amazing, supportive wife!!
ohhh so sorry to hear about the bike lows :( I love the highs you listed though. It is so tough to remember to look for the positive things when things do not go the way we would like. But its amazing that even when we find the smallest positive...it is easier to find more and more and then the whole experience does not seem as bad :) Love all your posts...they are always so uplifting and just great reminders for life!
love hearing about the races and your travels, life happens ;) and we are here for the ride, haha
you are great supportive wife!
awww he does look like he needs a big hug- good thing you're there for that! I'm sorry to hear it didn't go according to plan but yay for the positives! here's hoping the next one leaves him with a big cheery grin :)
me too claire! he deserves a GREAT race. Thanks for your kind words.

two flats...oh man :( that's frustrating! :( lots to be thankful for, most definitely but still...:( tell James to hang in there, everything happens for a reason (whether or not we actually know or see what the reason might be...). This quote seems a little out of place, being about trees and all, but I like it for stuff like this. "Good timber does not grow with ease. The stonger the wind the stronger the trees."
we are here for each others ride, and I love that!

I love your attitude, it is quite inspiring for me. I am glad you included the lows, but like you said, the highs certainly do outweigh them. It's great that you mentioned both because it helps to put things in perspective. That is something I certainly need to work on!
it definitely does tessa. the highs seem even higher when you point out the
lows. right?

Next race we'll see James with all sorts of tubes poking out from everywhere...just in case!
If it were me...I'd still be sitting somewhere waiting for someone to come change my flat :)
Sorry it turned out that way in Portland- clearly, he has what it takes to win...just waiting for the "right" time.
Would have loved to have met you in real life, Lindsay! Your friend looks like she had a FUN time in the boots :) haha. You know how to make a person feel special! :)
Oh- and glad you got the bike fee waived!
Great perspective. :) You are selfless and giving and that's amazing and inspiring!
this is such a great recap lindsay! racing is so hard. the srong man rarely wins and so many other factors are involved. at least you know hubs is strong and will have a good day soon! he is so lucky to have you around and i am sure having you there helps him when he does not have a good race. love how you met up with spa betty! now how can i get my hands on those cotter healthy bites?
I'm sorry your husband had to drop out of the race. You have great perspective though. I agree--the highs outweigh the lows!
I love that you write about life!! Though I enjoy your workouts and recipes, its fun to know what your "off-season" looks like. Hubs is lucky to have you. I'm so so so so sorry about the flats....and being in the top 5. Ugh.
Glad the 2nd bike fee got waived!!!
I saw Kristina's picture before the caption and was wondering what kind of pants those were! LOL!! I'm sorry about the bike but I'm really happy you look at the highs too. :) I think your positive attitude is inspiring!
thank you Jess. Its always hard to watch our men's ego feel a little bruised, ya
know?
Lindsay

You're an awesome wife for being so supportive and the hubs sounds like such an awesome person for cheering on his competitors even though he couldn't compete. That's true sportsmanship! I really hope the rest of the season goes much better for you guys and you get more good karma (like what the flight attendant gave you). I'm pulling Team Cotter! :)
thanks Maryea. Its all about perspective, gotta keep reminding ourselves that.

you can write about WHATEVER u want!!!!!! so im glad u did!! love all the highs!! the weather looks gorgeous!

aww, thanks sarah. I sure hope this perspective pays off soon. haha.
Hows the summer going for you?

That is so unforunate :( Poor hubs. At Nationals in 2009, my team mate got a flat and didnt have another spare and had to drop out too, even though she was doing quite well. Lets just say it was meant to be, perhaps he would have gotten injured or something far worse than if he had had to drop. Lets say it was Gods will and that next time he will OWN THE RACE and WIN IT!
oh thanks carrie. highs are so much better to focus on. agreed!
Lindsay

oh i know, we're going to pack him full of extra tubes! haha. And yes, i really
really want to meet you. We'll have to make it happen.

You and your husband are so amazing to me. I'm always inpsired by your attitudes and commitment to each other and to supporting others as well. Keep on blogging about life because you live it WELL.
it definitely sounds like it would be a tough profession..but how cool to be able to do what you truly love? sounds pretty awesome to me! im sure you're constantly surrounded by inspirational people too. im sure things get frustrating...but he'll come out better than ever!
those recovery boots look awesome btw!
that has to be one of the kindest things ever said. I sure hope we live life
well.....its an amazing gift! Cheers Tina!

You guys are BOTH amazing! You deserve a medal every time he crosses that line too and as I commented on his blog...him just doing the race is an inspiration to all of us age groupers and many more: win, lose or draw!
I can't imagine how tough a profession that would be!Your hubby sounds like an amazing guy...which only makes sense since you are so supportive and amazing yourself! Safe travels!!
Wow, thank you shelby! The hubs is an inspiration to me as well. And you as an age group athlete are helping make our dream possible!

And you know what, THIS is what I like reading about- life stuff. Yes, your workouts and recipes are fantastic, but "team cotter" is what keeps us reading!

I'm SO excited that you got to meet Kristina! I SO wish I could have been there to hang out with y'all...and Basil! :)
I'm sorry about the disappointing turn out but it sounds like you both made the best of it - and what a score on the reduced bike fee!
You two are amazing! So sorry things didn't go well, flat tires.. I can't imagine his frustration. But his ability to stand and cheer the others on says so much about him!!!!!!!
I really should be asleep again, haha. West coast time is brutal! But had to say THANK U for always being there for us.
P.S.
Me and kristina so missed you!

That bike needs some flat-proof tires (well, don't they all)...!! How frustrating, but so awesome of him to cheer on the other racers as they came in. You guys make quite a {cute} Team!
This really makes me want to go see Portland...haven't been yet, but it's on the ever-growing list :)
Glad the highs outweight the lows... sometimes it's hard to loko on the bright side when things arent going perfectly!

Tell your hubbinator not to buy his tires from Play It Again Sports anymore ;) Ok, that joke is only funny if you know what that is! Ooor, it's not funny at all considering the luck he had. Although, I tend to believe he is just being primed for greatness. All these experiences are just buildup for the big deal race of the century. Ways to make him mentally more tough than he ever thought possible. And then POW! He annihilates the competition winning some HUGE stacks of money & gaining an even bigger name out there!
aww, how impressive is that, a stand-up guy for sure, cheering his fellow competitors. sometimes things are out of our control, though, so might as well focus on the highs!!
I'm sorry to hear about the tires :/ That blows...literally! But, he is a STAND UP guy for continuing to cheer on fellow athletes..that is hard to do, especially after what happened. Major props to him for doing that!
& that is awesome that you got some money off of the bike fee!!
believe it or not, I hung out at PLAY it AGAIN sports religously growing up!
haha. Oh the good old days. Thanks for your kind words Nellie.

Aww, you both are so sweet. I want to give you both a big hug! I loved watching the videos...I don't even really know James but I still get a kick out of hearing his name announced and seeing him come out of the water in SECOND place. I still can't believe it about the flats. Man:( And you definitely should NOT be posting about anything else...we all love feeling like we're involved in your lives in some small way. I would be so upset if I didn't hear how the race went. Like I said before, those are the blogs I like (which is why I love yours!:).
Also, DID YOU STEAL THE BANNER THIS TIME!! Come on!!;)
It was really great meeting you in person finally! You and James are adorable and are so kind. Wishing you guys the best, especially in the triathlon world, it's well-deserved :) And thanks for hunting us down at Henry's too! You had just missed the food fest of pizza and burgers (I was soooo bad lol).
oh I saw that food on your blog, wow! looks awesome! should have stolen a beer!
haha. Hope we get to connect again soon. Come do austin 70.3!
