After I wrote the last post, of course, I had an attack of awesome guilt and regret at having not raced... SO I saught pennance and took a 2 hr ride on the indoor trainer while watching the "Road to Perdition".
Amazing the power of guilt.

Life is a story. This is true for everybody. My story is about my adventure in finding out what matters, why being an Ironman athlete is important to me, and what this lifestyle brings to the rest of the story. The journey is not about getting somewhere in particular. Kona (the Ironman Mecca), or any other worthwhile goal, is not about the day itself. It's about the journey into our hearts and minds... And hours and hours on a bike seat...
Training Philosophy thoughts...
It's not about who goes fastest but rather who slows down the least.

oh yes, guilt is a great training motivator. I can attest to that. I enjoyed your blog. I have recently started the swimming and cycling phase of the training for my first Ironman (I've done 16 marathons), so blogs like yours are always a great source of inspiration and motivation for me.
If you get a chance, please visit my running web site, Faithful Soles. I have a categorized and searchable Running Blog Database on there and would appreciate it if you would link your blog to it. Thanks and next time you feel guilty and want a 2 hour movie, watch "Cinderella Man".
