Hi CC

I guess it's all about balance. They talk about work/life balance, well I think it's the same for sport/life balance.

My brother does triathlon and has been training for the Floridor Ironman. When I spoke to him a few weeks ago he was starting to wonder why he was doing it. He said the training had totally taken over his whole life -from the minute he gets up , to what he eats for lunch, to filling out training diary and fitting it all round his job as a life guard with its irregular hours. It's very easy to get very obsessed, very quickly.

BUT - he really enjoys it. I think the fact that you can recognise you're in need of a break is a very good sign. It means you're listening to your body and mind and are aware of what's going on, so the chances of over training and totally frying your brain are minimal.

Maybe you could schedule in a rest/ v.light day of training every 10 days when you just do something totally fun and different. Otherwise Good Luck - I have much admiration for people that can achive in 3 different sports all at the same time.
