Good luck!<br /><br />Also, I think it's disheartening to not be on your game no matter what your pace. I'll never be anywhere near the pros and it still sucks to have a bad race!

That was my goal for my first half-ironman and it was enough then because I really had no idea how my pace would be at that distance. My original goal for this year was to PR, but I don't have the training to do that right now. Something for me to think about. Thanks for the advice!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149565303880950865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648422239807575452.post-5876613211301933692012-08-24T22:36:08.247-05:002012-08-24T22:36:08.247-05:00I really have no advice as I have no experience. ...I really have no advice as I have no experience. Just know you are not alone. With our move to Arizona I had to sacrifice Rev3CP. It was a sad moment but I think it was right for me at the time...and your post actually just gave me a blog idea to write about. =) Good luck with your decision!Heidi @BananaBuzzbombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811342014661236793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648422239807575452.post-54046317849280031342012-08-24T19:01:54.394-05:002012-08-24T19:01:54.394-05:00I also just am coming off a pseudo-retirement from...I also just am coming off a pseudo-retirement from racing due to my PhD. I got so dissappointed in my racing when I couldn't train as much as I wanted and it drove me to dislike the sport. It's very disheartening to race with the pros and not be on your game! I haven't raced a triathlon in over 1 year and feel so much less stress racing individual events and waiting until I have the time to devote to the training I used to do. I am looking forward to my first tri back - Rev3 SC!

And that is what this is about, if just getting across the finish is enough then go for it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350575176312031719noreply@blogger.com
