70.3 Or Kona In 2013?

   

Starting to believe that the season may be over. As much as I want to race one more time, the weather is starting to have a final say in my decision. I am not a fan of cold water and the temperatures are dropping overnight to a point where the water temperatures are getting to close to the point of unbearable. If I should call it a season, I am very pleased with how the season went and my results. I think the season went better than expected especially given the eye surgeries and missed swim training through April.

In the chance I may get another race, training continues to go well. The bike still continues to improve and I have never felt better on the bike. With the addition of track workouts, my running has become a lot stronger over the past 3-4 weeks. The swim remains my weakness but I hope to improve that a bit before the 2013 season.

I will most likely know by the end of the week if the season is over. Either way I have started looking at potential races for 2013. I know there will be a 70.3 on there but debating if I am ready to take a crack at qualifying for Kona. Is one year of a comeback enough or do I wait till 2014?

TdO ' 13 - pushed back one more year!
