Bitter sweet

Received this in an email. I was excited and really wanted to do it, but alas it is 8 days before Ironman Kentucky. So close to my "A" race that the people close to me, Kristine, & Coach agree that I should not do it. Ugh, I am still immature and want to go do it just because. I was really excited and wanted to do it. Coach explained what was going on and Kristine was in accordance with him. Guess I will have to qualify again next year so I can plan on it, that is if I am not going to Kona :-)


So with Coach, Kristine and me now agreeing on what the path is, I will stick to the path and the plan. We will let the rest of this year pan out, but I did like the suggestion of another 70.3 to try to qualify for Las Vegas :-)


Here is the email:
