I was talking with lisa pepin at the concomm meeting yesterday. She's done 3 marathons -- I honestly had no idea. She was relaying a story about how she was the "penguin" in one 5K she did -- the very last one in a very large race. She decided to just have fun with it, and that after all, even though she was the slowest person there, she was still faster than every single person watching.
You've done two triathalons, which is two more than 99% of everyone on the planet has done. I totally beat myself up over things like this too, and I really get it. Honestly. But even with tiny setbacks, and even if someday you're the penguin too, you're still miles ahead of where you were two years ago -- both figuratively and literally.

And penguins are awesome. And so are you.
