Tri minus 19

I just finished watching the Saints beat the Colts. What a good game. Both teams played well, one took the secure route and the other took chances. That onside kick to start the 2^nd half turned the game. The Colts and their steady game plan just could recover after that.

I guess that’s how I feel about this triathlon. I could take the easy route and NOT run, be conservative and not risk another injury, but where would that get me. It would get me where I was in the spring of 2008, 25 lbs heaver, out of shape and hardly able to get myself out of a chair. I would not have made it to the top of Mt St Helen’s last summer.

Risk need to be managed and thought through, but to fear and not take chances only leaves you wondering what might have been.

I had a good week in the gym this week. It was pretty intense and I swam without pain in my shoulders 2 nights. I felt like I had won the battle this week. It sure helps to have weeks like that as you train over time. It helps to balance out the down weeks and keep you going.
