Pic #33, “Mohamed Lahna of team USA celebrates with a U.S. flag as he crosses the finish line in second position at the end of the men's PTS2 para-triathlon event...” It’s the picture of a man who absolutely could not be happier. No, I got beat and came in second attitude, no excuses. The hardest person to beat in a marathon, a tri or pentathlon is yourself. To dispel the what am I doing here thoughts and keep pushing. He did it and he deserves to be proud. xoxoxoBruce
