Racing has become a very important part of my life. It takes a lot of dedication and a lot of focus but results in a real sense of accomplishment and puts me in great shape. Sharing this information helps keep my mind in the game and lets you read about my experiences :)

Mock weekend and a tough one overall

On Saturday morning the Tri team got in their first mock tri at Nokomis. It was perfect weather and everyone did great. I am still royally disappointed in myself this year but do what I can to keep moving forward. I walked away that day not happy and for the first time, not looking forward to my race next weekend. I know I could be better but I'm not taking the opportunities I have to do so. Today was especially hard, I think it's just an mental shutdown I've been dealing with. Today I ended up having a few hours to myself this afternoon and was set on going for a bike ride in the beautiful weather. But for whatever reason, my butt hit the couch and no amount of "just do it" talk was getting me back up. Tons of things I could do and should do were running through my head but I didn't want to do any of them. Very depressing. I'd like to say only my training is suffering but I think just about every part of my life has been suffering lately.
Chisago Half Iron is in 6 weeks and I need to get my mind, body and heart back into the game 100%.

We all have our down points. Kris, is there anything I can do to help?

Instead of swimming one of these Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, sleep in and join me over here at Shady Oak Lake. It's a great clean lake and we can talk about what's going on. I'd like to listen and help with anything I can.
