Dear Coach and Terrapin family,
I have struggled over this decision, as I love you guys and have had nothing that has given me any cause to not want to be a part of the Terrapins. You guys are, and will continue to be, dear to me. I am thankful for the support, encouragement, and love so many of you have given me. I have felt bad for a while now, that I have not been able to participate in team events and training. My life has just taken a turn in a different direction. I wanted it to work, but it just hasn’t. I am now committed to returning to the sport and will need all the encouragement and support I can get. I also know I need help from those near, as my schedule will not allow me to add drive time on top of training. My time is super tight, as many of you understand. I want to look to IM 2017, so I need to train with groups I know I can find time to train with. I have felt like such a slack Terrapin! Thank you again, and I hope to continue to be a Terrapin at heart. Wish I could have more than one family, but it is not allowed, is it? Love and hope to see you guys around soon.
Sincerely, Ashley
