July 2009

Six days. I've given myself only six days to recover from an oly-distance tri before racing the Steelhead IM 70.3 this weekend. I don't know why six days seems like too short a time - most of us runners have raced multiple times in one weekend in our younger days. Maybe it's because the Steelhead race is a BIG one AND a qualifier for the 70.3 World Championship in November. Six days of recovery doesn't seem like enough time to do my best. It could very well be a disaster in the making (and by definition, then, I must take on the challenge).

Somewhere along the line, I lost it. My killer instinct.

Many of you may know that I work in a Zoo marketing department.

I took a full week off from training following Ironman Coeur d'Alene on June 21.
