Subject: Going for it....I did an HIM in 07,08, (not 09, hit by car 3 weeks before race ) and I am doing Musselman in a few weeks. Every year I go through the debate of a full IM or not. I end up waiting to volunteer at IMLP so I can sign up to do an IM the following year. And of course, I end up not doing it because of the time commitment, concerns, conflicts, etc. So, after listening to many on Ontri & BeginnerTriathlete, I resolved that I would actually enjoy a smaller, non NAS full distance IM. With that done, I looked around and found Chesapeakeman in late Sept and I am going to do it. I just switched my training program from HIM to IM and away I go. I will taper a bit and change my HIM to a B race with the IM being my A. I am so fired up. I have logged over 3 miles swimming this week and love the volume of the program and the excitement of somthing new. Just wanted to share with a group that would understand. My family and coworkers think I have truly fallen over the edge. |
