I told them I would come along, but I had to bring my bike, wetsuit, and running shoes, and I would have a lot to do. This weekend is three weeks out! I have four hours on the bike saturday, 14 miles running sunday, and I need to swim a little in open water at some point. I swear, they are goingto think I'm crazy.
Kacie- You aren't crazy, you are passionate! (Which unfortunately is often confused.)

I can identify with your need to hold yourself to the training schedule, it's hard! Especially when you are having a good session & know your body could go farther.

As to training while away this weekend, I think it's difficult for people who haven't trained for events to understand how important it is to get those sessions in. Don't let that discourage you, you've got a whole group of ladies here that "understand".

Good for you for lugging all that gear with you & doing it, you'll be glad you did!
