My personal Olympic moment


my olympic moment, originally uploaded by RobinJP.

I had to get off the couch and go have my own Olympic moment today.

This is a photo of me after a 9-mile bike ride in 102 degree heat. Don’t worry, I always turn red. A frozen water bottle pressed on my neck calmed that right down.

I felt strong. I was moving. I am an athlete, just like those on the world stage.

I was really inspired to get moving when the women beach volleyball started. Those women do not have couch-potato bodies.

  1. Robin,I asked a question before I read your perfect moment piece. I thought I was seeing sunburn and s…… Obviously, you are an athlete! No one but a good athlete can bike any miles in 102 heat in the desert and still be alive! Congratulations! I watched the professional women athletes of both Brazil and America play a beautifully spirited game even if there were errors on one side in particular. Just to see healthy bodies in action doing their best was beautiful to behold.
