This year has been a rollercoaster in my triathlon pursuits, but, as my last year in the 40-44 age group, I would like it to end on a positive note. If that's even possible.

It's the day after a hard effort in the Whirlpool

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.

I took a week off from Ironman race analysis, just to regroup mentally.
