Events just passing me by….
Womens tri… Frostbuster… Even Crater Rim (which I didn’t relise was on till it was over) are already over and done with. There are events coming up Twizel weekend this weekend (well I assume, haven’t looked into it. Do the have the kayak race back? that was fun). 5 passes at the end of October.
All these events and I don’t really care. It used to be I had to do EVERYTHING. I had all the events lined up for the year, and had to priortise them and cull a few as I went (which made me sad). But now I shrug the shoulders and not really caring. I have either done them before or haven’t. They were either a good day out or a challenge I would like to improve on. Maybe I am just getting lazy?Or maybe I am jsut over the constant need to race.
I’d prefer to go and do a big training weekend than a event as I feel its more benefical. Am slighlty sad about missing 5 passes, but life happened, it didn’t, so I moved on and changed my focus, maybe next year.
I asked Jo if I should do the next womens tri, but thats a key weekend in my training schedule so better I don’t. Plus I only wanted to do it to practice the transition (plus it would be interesting to see if I could go faster and woop some ass, or see if I end u middle of the pack like I used to).
So the only event lined up on the calendar before Wanaka is SI half. How very uninteresting of me….





Hahaha. SI Half Ironman *uninteresting*? Oh no it’s not. And probably a much better event for you to practice your transition on than the Women’s PhysioMed events. You can really get your teeth into the Half I would think
Oh yes it is!!! I get you Nadia. Unfortunately that’s what happens when you’ve done events that have had greater wow factor. But at least you know that Ashburton is 100% achievable (unless you plough into a wayward cow or sheep on the bike) – you’re not going to get blown off a mountain or wrapped around a river rock.
Oh you never know, the nor’wester can blow quite hard, maybe I’ll find myself blown off the bike into a cow
