A little bit about my health/sports history

I thought I might post a little something about my health history, considering you are all watching IG and reading about my progress.

Full disclosure. I have a seizure disorder. It may sound scary to some, but I'm very lucky considering. I had an inter-cranial brain bleed when I was born. No reason, just the unluck of the draw. The lucky part is that I am very well controlled as long as a take my medication, and I'm on mono-therapy. While my condition isn't severe (no seizures in almost 5 years; only 4 in the last 12 years) It'd be cool to show other people that a sport like this with a condition like mine can be done.

As far as my sports history is concerned, it hasn't been great. I took dance, but struggled with homework as a kid, so I didn't get to practice. I played softball, but was pretty horrible. I do have a fairly good arm, and I LOVE batting cages, but I got hit in the face with a ball once during a game of baseball with the boys. Never again. Soccer was never on my radar. Too short for Volleyball, etc. I figured sports, especially team sports, weren't really for me. I stuck to singing mostly. That was my "sport". So as you can see, sports and I have not been friends in the past.

That's one of the reasons why this is so exciting for me. Completing a triathlon would be a way of telling that skinny little kid, who would get a side cramp from running ONE lap, who sucked at any sport she tried, that it wasn't her. She just hadn't found her place yet, but now she's home.
