Happy Friday! kind of...

My don't give up song for the moment:


                                       


So the sad news is that my Olympic Tri got cancelled for this weekend.  They will register us for it next year instead......  This was due to the rains we finally got, it washed all the ash etc from the fires into the lake and they are saying the water quality is too poor to swim in.  I received this information on Monday and for some reason it really disappointed me got me down a little.  I had trained so hard for this and the Olympic distance was always one that I had never quite mastered it's that weird middle distance that I never hydrated, fueled or trained properly for.  I was so ready to prove myself and I had given up some fun stuff in order to train for it and maybe even let it cause a few minor fights with the f.  It feels like all that was for nothing.  I threw all my mental toughness training out the window apparently and barely trained at all this week because I was so disillusioned.  But I'm digging my heels back in and am back to my regularly scheduled training this weekend.  I mean I do have a sprint next weekend but that was supposed to just be for fun and I do have the Disney Half Marathon in a couple of months.  But I still have this feeling like I don't want to sign up for any more triathlons this season, bummer...
