2011 was memorable for me because I made it home from Afghanistan with my men and women. to start off. As the year progressed I was able to run the Navy ten Nautical Miler with my wife and one of my Soldiers. I also ran my first Marathon in St Louis and two weeks later the Half-Marathon in Savannah with my wife. I was able to see both my students complete their half-marathons in Sevierville, Tn during the Santa Hustle. That is just a snippet of my year but great events to make it memorable.
I got to compete for Team USA at the ITU Long Course World Championships! My dad met me at the finish line with a cold HoneyMilk
The best moment of 2011 was helping my mother on 9/8/11 she had cancer and she gave me the biggest hug and smile! When I was helping her out of her chair. She was really weak but she gave me the biggest hug! She died 9/11/11. But I will never forget that hug for as long as I live! I miss my mother! Dannie Leilani Eggers 7/2/44 – 9/11/11
End of 2011 was memorable because the Friday prior to our last cyclocross race of the season my father went in for surgery on a major tumor on the brain. I was not going to race at all. Saturday, Dad was doing much better but still in ICU. He told me to race on Sunday. I thought he was more important but he insisted I race. By racing, I landed a 4th in the race and won the series overall.
Better yet we used that race as a fund raiser for Wounded Warrior Project and brought in over $2,500 in donations.
After that race I thought I was done, but Dad said I had no reason to not race World Championships. So I’m going to Louisville for Masters Worlds in the middle of January.
Thank you, Dad.
