All:<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; It was nine years ago, I found myself surrounded by utter chaos, death and most of all hate. &nbsp;Looking back on that day I can still smell the jet fuel, burnt rubber and smoke which in retrospect remind me so much of death and hate. &nbsp;I will not go into detail on my horrible experience at Ground Zero that fateful day, as I posted the full story on Beginner Tri and other places, but everyone should take a moment to remeber all those poor souls that perished right before our eyes. &nbsp;I still think about that day everyday and thank God I survived the collapse of the South Tower. &nbsp;It tugs at my heart and I feel as though I let all those souls slip right throuogh my fingers.&nbsp; I miss my fallen Agent brothers, the Police Officers, the Firefighters and most of all the innocent people that left us that day. &nbsp;It is one of the primary reasons I race so much these days. &nbsp;I race to remember those who can no longer race!
