Subject: Ok – I’ve had a few days now Since my miserable experience (failure ) to swim in a race. I wanted to give myself some time before deciding what to do.
The feed back I’ve had from here is great and I appreciate it – you are a great bunch of people.
I have pulled out of my next Tri on September 11th – I don’t think I can be ready in time plus I’ve been asked to coach soccer for a kids team and that’s their first game so I’m going with them.
I’m stopping swimming for a bit. Whilst the weather is decent for the next couple of months I shall be focusing on a 5k program until I can run plus getting road time in on the bike before the weather closes me down. I’ll throw in a swim once a week when I take the kids to the Y.
I shall also be returning to Volleyball to maintain some sort of shape – and at least I can complete that!!! ?
Once the biking stops for winter then I shall switch the focus to swimming and the running and by the time conditions allow for biking I shall be ready to hit the road and up the program. I know that early next year there is a y in Vermont that does a few mini tris - with a swim in the pool – just what I need to get started.
I’ll reassess where I am by then but I hope to be doing some serious biking with the local club and I’ll add open water swimming by next summer. Should have lost more weight by then.
I also refuse to have any more visitors as they disrupted my life to much. Shame because the dragon in law was going to be the next visitor!! ;- )
Timberman 2005 – I’ll be back. You don’t beat me that easily.
Thank you all – you are all stars.
