Winding Down

It's getting closer and closer to the Forster Ironman, which means I am doing less training, and starting to feel fresh. It also means I have more time to stretch and do some self-massage (good), more time to dream (you have to take a risk to follow your dreams), and more time to worry about the future (try and relax...). I am also finding myself a bit more agressive at times, but it's always the other person's fault...

Last night I went to the club with my Dad, and met a few parents of kids I used to play baseball with. It was interesting hearing what they are up to - mostly enjoying sport oriented activities, but not at any really serious level. Some of these guys played junior state and national baseball, but after realising they didn't want to make huge sacrifices, reduced their load so that they just enjpy their sport. Some of them had a big potential, but chose to enjoy life, which is, well, the most enjoyable thing to do. Hats off to them. Well that was my interpretation.

The parents haven't changed that much, though.

This weekend I have a brick session, an open water swim, then a 3hr ride. I am also going to modify my handlebars to be more triathlon like ie, replace the drop bars with bullhorns, and see how far I can move my seat forward. I hope this position change doesn't cause any other problems.
