So, I thought my racing season was over......it was, right? An Ironman, half IM, couple of sprints here and there. I even set a half marathon PR....enough?
Well, then I went gluten free a couple plus weeks ago and decided to see if it would affect my performance any....and ran a 5K PR last weekend. That got me thinking...
Even though I haven't been training much, I still have a good amount of residual fitness, so I just registered for the (usually small) Polar Bear Triathlon on Dec 1st at White Sands Missile Range in southern NM. This was my first ever triathlon in 1999....and I went back last season after a disappointing outing at IMFL to see what I could do. I raced strong and won my AG and finished 5th overall....albeit in a small race. So....I'm going back this year to empty the tanks again and see what I have left.
Michi and Bella will be with me so I'll have the biggest cheering section in the race!
Every time I say..."That's enough....time to shut it down" another voice in my head says "This is who you are, this is what you do.....go for it"...and for now, that second voice is winning.
