but for me i have 2 more races to do before fatdog. one being tomorrow!! Its the Iron mountain Triathlon in Maple ridge. ( 1.5km swim , 40km bike, 10km run) I am using this race to find/ make any last minute changes before my half ironman in 22day!!! July 10th 8am i take part in the Peterborough, Ontario half ironman triathlon. This will be my first, and most definatley not my last half ironman.
This year for training has been very different then past years. I will 100% admit i bit off more then i can chew, choosing 2 HUGE races. Unfortunatley, some aspects have conflicted with each other, making some training day hard mentally and physically. for example... my long distance running with fatdog has REALLY effected my riding for tri. ( but my riding has helped my running???) I have been training for this half since september 2010 and dedicated fatdog training since january.
Ive definatley had my ups and down.. having 2 surgeries since last june...recovering from the drugs they gave me... struggling with nerve damage....and with all that trying to keep my motivation high.
Would i do this over again?? (train for an ultra marathon 50+ miles )
I have been asked this question numerous times. To be honest i have bounced around with my answer. I have had really high points and really low points through out this journey but when it comes down to it, the high points out weighed the lows. I wouldnt recommend doing an ironman or half the same summer as an ultra ( let alone the same month - 23days apart) but i would consider training for a crazy ultra again.
well i should be sleeping... 7 am gun time tomorrow! woot woot!
until next time!!
