I would add, I think there a lot of athletes out there fuelled by fear. It's what keeps them ticking over. Some of us run towards something, some of us run away from it.Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09819393973439696647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813428.post-59514039443999075362007-06-18T06:09:00.000-07:002007-06-18T06:09:00.000-07:00LongTime here from trifuel.

At 46 years old, after competing since I was 13, I enjoy staying in shape as much as anything. I've done the schedules leading to marathons, centuries, and HIMs, and may go back to the ol' schedule again, but for now it's nice to do the workout that seems right at the time. Today it will be in the mid 90s, so I'll go to the local quarry and swim an hour. There's a sprint tri this weekend and I should taper soon, but maybe, maybe not. Appreciate your thoughts.LongTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288933964431699510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813428.post-14831493264848944162007-06-15T15:45:00.000-07:002007-06-15T15:45:00.000-07:00Love it!

And teach all about bringing joy to workouts.TriGirl 40https://www.blogger.com/profile/03561789997010858947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813428.post-13046741941221818652007-06-14T18:21:00.000-07:002007-06-14T18:21:00.000-07:00I have been an admirer of your blogs for almost a ...I have been an admirer of your blogs for almost a year (after finding the link on another friend's blog). You are spot on with so much of what you write; you are definitely on the right path with your kids---kudos to you! <BR/><BR/>This entry really struck a chord with me, as all my friends who are currently training for ironman triathlons have acquired coaches except me. (I, too, briefly toyed with the idea of hiring a coach, but realized that after 15 years of this, no one knows what i need better than me!)<BR/><BR/>Stay strong!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359196349927853988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813428.post-43970772997522966262007-06-14T15:30:00.000-07:002007-06-14T15:30:00.000-07:00I have to add that this particular photo of Yorksh...I have to add that this particular photo of Yorkshire looks a lot like the area I was biking last night. Very rural, very green, rolling hills, slanting light. The big difference is we have wood & wire fences instead of stone, and our sheep are not as wooly and don't have horns!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297237900094898777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813428.post-75949803708906467292007-06-14T15:28:00.000-07:002007-06-14T15:28:00.000-07:00Richard, you caught me on that one!

I couldn't find a good photo from a rural place here (after all, I'm usually alone when I bike or run) but yes, that one is of me on holiday in Yorkshire. We stayed at a friend's family's caravan on the edge of the Dales. Lovely place to run, and beautiful countryside! Good spotting on your part. :-)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17297237900094898777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813428.post-73923404095568248972007-06-14T13:32:00.000-07:002007-06-14T13:32:00.000-07:00Ah yes... it appears we have the classic triathlet...Ah yes... it appears we have the classic triathlete case of he said-she said. as somebody famous never said:<BR/><BR/>There are four sides to every triathlon: your side, my side, the coaches side and the truth.

I live on the right side of the pennines, Lancashire. Great blog, great attitude to life. Aswell as the tri stuff, i enjoy motorcycles (German!) and am a budding urban green warrior. Look forward to your future posts, keep up the good work.richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735560778123063560noreply@blogger.com
