Charlie Mosbrook's Kickstarter

Click above to see what he's trying to accomplish with our help. This is a great opportunity to show a local artist support.

I remember walking at mile 21 of IM Louisville late a night. I was hurt, depressed and just wishing the day was over. Charlie came trotting by and said "Looking good Chris" I told him he's a good liar, and he replied "just keep going, and remember that it will come back, it always does".

I doubt he remembers this, but I certainly do. I made it to the finish line(much later) and thanked Charlie for the encouragement.

Charlie had my back that night, today I became a backer to his project.

Thanks Chris! I remember it well. That was a point in the race where my brain was working....30 minutes earlier, I had no idea what I was doing, and after the finish, I was enjoying an IV cocktail. It was a hot day in Kentucky. But we finished.
Thanks for the reminder to keep going. The pledge drive is such a roller coaster of emotions, and it does get frustrating.

While I am on this site, let me update where I am physically. The spinal cord injury was bad and much of the damage is permanent. Walking is still a struggle and very clumsy. I do cycle indoors but with little power. I am considering having a bike modified as a tricycle. I have also been hitting the pool lately and am planning to do the swim portion of the Fairport harbor race with Chuck M and possibly Henneman....Swimming enables me to get a true workout...maybe I will show up in Oberlin next winter.

My work is mostly music related with some web design. Between PT and the erratic daily issues from the nerve damage, it is easiest to work this way. It has been a struggle to say the least, but I always remain positive. I know if I keep up the little things, the big things will come. The body may break, but never my will. The determination that pushed me to a couple IM finishes remains strong.

Thanks also for posting results. I often live vicariously through all of you.
