Should I even respond??

I know nothing about training for one of these, but I have to agree with Tuckerville. Your goals aren't compatible, but why is he going nuts over someone who was essentially just going along because her husband was training? He has his money. I think he sees talent/dedication in you and wants you to do more, but his bedside manner is atrocious. If you don't want to do more, don't, but maybe you should feel good about how much potential he thinks you have. Sort of reminded me of a student I once had, top grades in physics and math and she decided she wasn't going to college Of course I was kinder to her than this guy, but still horrified.

You are certainly an inspiration to all of us! Follow your heart.
