Well, here we are again, in the midst of taper. Lots of extra time and that unusual feeling, energy. I have been excited about this race in particular for a long time. It is the inaugural year, my first A race, and an hour and a half from home.
I have been having some hamstring/piriformis/glute - mostly hamstring problem for about two weeks now, and hating it. It has destroyed a few bike rides, some runs, and kept me pretty uncomfortable. I pray it loosens up by Sunday.
Does life pass you by as you train?
Lately, i have re-realized again, that I have no life, relative to people my age. Due to work, and training hours i uphold, it is hard to want to go out and do normal people things.
Relationships for one, i don't have time or energy to even think about getting involved. cop out? maybe, but i have a goal and nothing is going to get in the way of it.
i wouldn't trade it for anything. my definition of life, or what will at the end of mine, define my life will hopefully be more than the norm.
the beauty of triathlon, and the life of an endurance athlete, that is a huge part of it, even if it is usually a subcontious part of it, is the fact that day in and day out, we push the envelope, we push the buttons of what society tells us to be, we test ourselves, we see how far we can take something.
back to the race, janda ricci-munn(coach), trent stephens, andrew strong, nick dufresne, and amanda russel will all be headed to RI race day. good luck.
