I guess my 16hr 53min finish reflected that I put in just enough.<br />I am lucky enough to have Arnie this year (a sucker, I mean friend from my neighborhood) I talked into doing IMFL with. We still only ride once per week and run when we can, but this year the bike mileage will be increased.<br /><br />Family is why I only do the Sunday morning ride (I dont want to take away from family). I have found peace in the fact that I can "get away" with one ride per week (long as it may be) and the runs at lunch. I am blessed with being able to pull this off and look forward to as many years of it as this old body will put up with.<br /><br />So it is great to have the Sunday morning training partner, our small club..ONEHOURIRONMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618244547263041741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970897000862477078.post-32101197104814973042009-04-24T16:56:00.000-05:002009-04-24T16:56:00.000-05:00Carolina John,

And, as a mom of 3, it's hard to find balance for family & training for any distance event. So, while I work out regularly, the times/choices have to be flexible. I think that's a life-stage issue for me. <br /><br />So, while I like working out with friends, and they do motivate and encourage me to get out of bed, I work out on my own most of the time. <br /><br />I thought about including those points here, but plan on doing a series on triathlon & the family. <br />Any suggestions?<br /><br />Have a great weekend!Sara Cox Landolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297257752158859878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970897000862477078.post-86619419199972203522009-04-24T16:52:00.000-05:002009-04-24T16:52:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sara Cox Landolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297257752158859878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970897000862477078.post-35166899521962371992009-04-22T15:27:00.000-05:002009-04-22T15:27:00.000-05:00i don't train with the pack and have very few tri ...i don't train with the pack and have very few tri friends. sometimes i'll go on a group ride, but most of the time my schedule doesn't allow it. i like other people, but my family has to come first so it's tough for me to make regular commitments. i do what i can when i can, and it works for me.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.com
