The wind decided to play evil games with us again today. I made it a whopping 10 miles into the ride and decided I just didn't have it in me to fight.
Amazingly I'm totally fine with my decision. I didn't put the training in this year, so unless the day was perfect it was gonna be dicey.
The swim was pretty heinus as the wind picked up from the east early and made for some good size chop on the lake. But when I got on the bike and had a gust of wind,followed by flying dirt hit me head on, I knew I was in trouble.
But like I said, I'm ok with it. My life has changed the last few months, and so have my priorities. I may come back to Ironman someday, but I think I need to give it a rest for awhile. I'm going to see how the november IMAZ goes this year, and if I really have the time to do the training I can always grab a community fund slot.

Thanks all for your love and support. I love you all. Hope I didn't let you down.
Off to shower- I'm coated with dirt from the blowing dust out on the beeline.

I sure hope Laura makes it. I saw her this morning and she was pretty nervous. Fingers crossed!
