Well, I was way off with my Kona predictions. But that's what makes triathlon such an exciting sport. Fitness can be trumped by innumerable external variables. And the race "on paper" never reflects what happens out there a few hours into a race.
Onto my breaking news...my plan to get some serious run mileage in my legs this fall had to be cut short. In my attempt to train for some cross country I got a little over-ambitious with my trail running and broke my foot in what was surely a very stupid and comical manner. My foot has been placed in a space boot until further notice. So no more running this month, and I'll find out tomorrow from the specialist when I can attempt to resume any form of training.
In the mean time I'm bored out of my mind and am considering my options for new athletics avenues. I've narrowed it down to lawn darts, shuffleboard, or downhill cheese racing.
