Well if you have read my last post you know I had been sick. By the time all was said and done I had lost 12 full weeks of training. After that much time off with no training you must start off very easy and work your way back into training. This means I got even further behind. I am now back to full speed (I hope) but a total of 16 weeks behind schedule.
With 16 weeks out of a 30 week training cycle gone (and taking into account my starting condition), I have no real choice but to drop my hopes of finishing IRONMAN USA 2008. With the money already spent for registration, I am still hoping on starting my IRONMAN. My only goal will be to experience the event with no pressure. My plan is to go until it is no longer enjoyable, no worrying about time or speed. I will keep moving as long as I am enjoying myself (and have the officials haven't take me off the course).
This is not the end of my My IRONMAN Year though. My IRONMAN Year is going to now take 2 years (or more) to complete.
Until next time,
