Today, I raced to 3rd place at my state championship road race =^] I won the field sprint, as 2 guys clipped off the front that no one knew about until it was too late. I feel very positive about working towards my goals in July, and I just wanted to share. There were a few times I wanted to quit because it was hard and hot (100F), but I just had to tap into the determination I developed living with BPI all my life. Having BPI stinks for sure, but I know it also forces is to develop mental strength that most don't.

Great!!!!
There is always , these amazing Trys that do work out
Sharing the life with these injury at birth or latter in life and sharing with parents these post is Great idea to!!!
The guide idea in my life is to stay focus on the next try and my trys that did work Best way is staying in TRYING to stay positive rather than downing your self in your trys when things do not work out
There are so many post like ours to share This is a life long quest to overcome your way to adapt So is a better pain pill to Help for your trys
Mr Positive,

I just saw your post and thought what a wonderful achievement. I was curious how you can ride so steadily. I've done a few centuries, but this past weekend I did a metric century and lost my balance, went into the grass and slid down a ditch. I ended up breaking my collar bone on the side with my affected arm. Just posted on another forum about how the surgeon treated me. How do you ride holding onto the bottom of the handle bar and how do you get your water bottle out? This accident happened when i took my good arm off the handle bar. I'm very active physically so this is killing me right now. Thanks!
