I’m taking a break from triathlon.
After training and racing for 10 years I am not going to race in 2017.
Actually, maybe I should say I’m not training or racing in
2017, I think, maybe, I’m not sure.
I just know that triathlon has taken over my life in a
positive way for many years and I may just want to ..... spin, swim, take a yoga class, join CrossFit, start personal training, bike for fun or something else ..... this
coming year.
Ironman Arizona was a great day. Such a great day. I love that day. Nov. 20, 2016. A coming together of so much gratitude and a realization of the family I created with friends.
But, I want to do other
things for a while.
Ironman Lake Placid was a best day, best weekend,
for so many reasons: friends, family, memories, redemption, and so much more.
Now, I want to write more. I want to read more. I want to get
better at my job.
I’ll be back. There are more races to do. I WILL race Ironman Barcelona. Maybe one day Kona.
For now I’m going to bike and swim when I want to. I will
run a 50 miler in 2017. I know it. I will cross off Texas and Maine from my list of marathons in 50 states.
For now, I will write every day. I am thinking of a run
streak.
So many possibilities. That’s what I love about this life –
you never know what will appear after the next curve in the road. So much to
look forward to.
