So, after thinking about the invitation to be the swimmer on a relay, and posting my previous entry, I decided to do it. Both the cyclist, and the runner, were previous Kona participants, and 70.3 Worlds participants, so how could I say no? This was a very fast relay indeed!! I made the decision to try and get in race shape by utilizing the Michael Phelps endless pool, at the studio, only. No pool time, and no open water time.....the closest lake is closed because of the government shutdown. As a result, I logged 200 minutes in about 8 days. Yesterday, after completing 40 of those 200 minutes, I texted the cyclist to make sure we were still a go. Unfortunately, I was informed that the runner changed their mind and was going to do the entire 70.3. That decision rippled down to the cyclist, who became 95% unmotivated to compete, to me. The cyclist did say that if I could find a runner that could help us win, he might be game. Ultimately, I could tell that the passion was lacking and I didn't really want to go out and find another runner. Soooo, there will be no competing for a relay medal this Sunday. Instead, I will be down there supporting the ONE Multisport community as well as our Sole Swim Solutions athletes.
