The I Wish Someone Else Filled in for me so I can still love the tavern tri post

Whew, that was a long one. But I needed a long title because only that could do my swim justice. I have been training, really I have, but you wouldn't know it by my performance this weekend. I wanted to be witty and off handed about how it took me 26 minutes in that endless pool called the James River that I had to swim in on Sunday. It was positively demoralizing when I got my results after this brutal excuse for a triathlon. I deluded myself into thinking I did okay after all was said and done. I did run better then my last triathlon, which isn't saying much. I just cannot get into the spirit of my blog and once again poke fun at myself after knowing I tried my absolute hardest and wound up placing where I did. I dunno, it is definitely food for thought. Do I carry on with training and trying or do I shelf everything and just turn away from doing tris for awhile. Just run for the health of it? Bike because I have made friends with a really nice group of people on my Wednesday night ride?

I don't know, I will keep you posted....

I know that you haven't been happy with your results lately, but just think of what you have accomplished in the past 2 years.

I am very proud of you.
