I'm out!

I just sent in cancellations for two triathlons that I've done for the past several years: Columbia (Olympic distance) and Eagleman Aqua Velo (half iron distance).

They fall right in the midst of our house renovation schedule and I won't be able to be well-prepared for them. I don't want to go and just slog around the course slower than I have previously - I'd rather wait until next year when I can be well-prepared and return to them with focus rather than as an afterthought.

On the other hand, cutting out a tentative spring break trip will allow me to run a new local half marathon in Cambridge, most likely.

One door shuts, another opens.

Whoops!

I just realized tonight that I've scheduled two half marathons within 7 days: 13.1 planned (a 5K jog after a 10-mile race) tomorrow on Sunday, and than a regular half marathon on the following Saturday.

That was not part of the actual plan. It just happened.

Oh well....

Don't give me that "fail to plan, plan to fail" jive.
