(Rebecca and I racing toward the finish line.)I usually walk around with her encouraging her and making her work harder than she wants too. So on her last lap today I decided to jump in her other wheelchair and race her. I thought giving her a little friendly competition would make the last lap fun and motivate her. Of course I thought it would be pretty easy and I'd have to take it easy on her.
BOY, WAS I WRONG!
Pushing a wheelchair up hill is hard work and I had to really struggle just to keep up with her. Today gave me a new appreciation for how hard Rebecca trains and for all disabled athletes. They make pushing a wheelchair look easy, but like any good athlete, when it looks easy, it's all talent and hard work.
(I had to resort to trying to cheat to beat Rebecca.)Watch for Rebecca June 28 during the Kona Marathon. She'll be the one flying along in the wheelchair.
