man, that sucks. but who needs a silly ol' race anyway? it's the training that counts, right? but boy is it frustrating. but you've got such a positive outlook on things... i'm sure you'll come back with a vengence for that 1/2 IM in the spring and kick everyone's butt. congrats on the decision for kid #3!! that's wonderful! just try not to overwork those forearms with all those papers you'll have to sign (i'm picturing the visa commercial with the yankees owner who writes too many checks... :D) happy training!!

Im sorry to hear that you got sick and had to miss your race. I know how dissapointing that can be. But it sounds like you have a great attitude about it. So which half ironman are you planning on doing?

All right, no one else in mid-training is to get sick! All of you wash your hands and get your flu shots (if they'll give them to you) and eat your antioxidants!
Well pneumonia took away my olympic distance triathlon that I have been training for since spring. I have been fighting with it for three weeks now. This thing has kicked my butt. The oly was this past Sunday. I was driving on the thruway Sunday and I saw all the triathletes with their bikes on their vehicles and it brought tears to my eyes everytime I saw one. It just goes to show you that nothing is a guarantee. My dh got me some really awesome goggles to wear and I am getting my cycle computer too. URGH!!!!
I am not beaten though. I am still looking to continue the schedule I originally planned just without the olympic distance in the mix. I will go right to half iron in the spring. Training to begin around Christmas time.
More good news to follow... we will be starting the paperwork trail for our second adoption (third child) just after Christmas too. Lots to look forward to!!!!!
