Subject: RE: IM Melbourne : Official ThreadOkay, folks, time to get this thread kick-started again IM Melbourne draws threateningly nigh! I've done ZERO training up to now. The last 13 weeks, I have been enjoying dengue fever and repeated bouts of typhoid fever and am just now able to do very light training (like, 10-30 minutes at a time, very easy) and still have to rest a lot in between. I'm going to do as much of Don Fink's Be Iron Fit "Just Finish" (just git 'er done!) program as I can. I'm going to go ahead and start the race, and accept that I will likely not finish. I'm cool with it. I've been at this sports game for a very long time and I know that relative to life, nothing's that important. I'm cool with just having a good experience as much as possible. It occurred to me to bail on the race altogether, but this would be the FIFTH IM that I have signed up for (the first four I got at least halfway through the training) and not been able to do. I'm happy I got in and just want to go! |
