Who Is This Bitch?

To the woman who watches me in spin and chugs her Haterade,

Fuck you.

Your “Good Job” and condescending pat on the back as I left spin 15 minutes early is noted.

What you don’t know is that I started spinning 30 minutes before the class started since I know I cant stay the full hour. What you don’t know is that I was in a competition with you the whole spin class and I rode one gear higher than you at all times. And it was easy. People like you fuel me. What you don’t know is that I’ve been through hell and back…but that’s just it. I’m back. What you don’t know is that I’ve done endurance bike rides through rolling hills for 40+ miles. What you don’t know is that I’ve fought long and hard to get where I am and your “pity” for the fat girl isn’t appreciated.

What you don’t know is that I’m a cyclist. I’m a runner. I’m a swimmer. I’m not just an athlete, I’m a triathlete.

There will always be people who want to see me fail, but I’ll be damned if they will.

Love Always,

Danielle
