Stay tuned... Did he... Didn't he...
Answer: He Didn't!!!
Calisa and i made a game time decision for me not to compete today. we both agreed that i would be better served by taking a pass on this one. When i woke up this morning it was 28 degrees. It was below freezing 30 minutes before race start. I just couldn't forgive myself IF i competed and i was so sick that i couldn't train for the Ironman in june. If i wasn't trying to recover from a respiratory infection i would have done it. and A LOT of people did this morning only about 40 of 450 dropped out. So i took a pass and was a spectator today. NO BIG DEAL!!! a part of me still feels like i am quitter for not competing but that will pass.
The BIG picture is finishing the Coeur d'Alene Ironman in June so it is more important to be able to put the training time in the next 3 months and the only way to do that is to be healthy enough to complete the training. Besides... I have another tri to do next weekend in Monroe, LA. Hopefully i am healthy by then and hopefully the weather will be nice. COTY make sure there is some sunshine next saturday when i come to visit.
This weeks plan of attack. Rest today, tomorrow and monday. Sprint swim on tuesday, ride/run brick race pace on wednesday. and thursday light swim or light ride depending on the weather. Hopefully i will get enough rest to satisfy Dr. Phil (the tawainese one)

It was to cold to race. Great decision! I did a pay ride outside of Houston and I was freezing. I could not imagine getting out of a pool and then riding in freezing weather. Yuck! What race is it next weekend? I will be here racing in Keller. Have a good rest week!

28 Degrees! Dang, it was like 80 here in SoCal... it's almost unreasonable to have tri's outside of California, not to mention the shrinkage. Heh, heh.
