OK, training for the Lake Zurich triathlon has been progressing, but I'm starting to wonder how well suited I am to this activity. The two a day workouts have been challenging and, frankly, led to bittersweet results.
On the positive side, my dog Jack and I have grown closer thanks to the run workouts and he has helped me overcome my phobia of running. Something about being responsible for something more than yourself helps me "get out of my own way" as so many of my prior employers have recommended. The nice thing about running with the dog is that there is noone there to tell me I'm doing it wrong.
Alas, I've had time to pontificate my history as an endurance athlete. Realistically, the results are not as encouraging as I remember. As an exercise in reality, I've decided to post my reflections on each race I've competed in to determine where I can improve mentally and build motivation and confidence for the Lake Zurich race. How do you like that, just as I wrote that, the sun came out. :)
