John smokes pot every night to relax. Jenny starts eating compulsively the moment she comes home from work. Every time Linda enters a drug store, she steals something, whether or not she needs it. Rather than spending weekends at home with his family, Bob drives to the nearby casino and spends his hard-earned salary playing blackjack.

What do all these people have in common…addictive personalities and I think I have one too….

It’s all I can do not to schedule another….I’m on a bender and please NO ONE stop me!

Right?  Well I guess we will see this Sunday at the Long Course.   Although my life has more balance than in previous triathlon seasons it is obvious why…although consistent my training has been much less.  Actually I am the least prepared going into the long course than any other tri I’ve done.  Ok so let’s define less….I’ve been training 6 days a week since January 1st it’s just that my overall distances are lower than I had expected them to be at this point.  So going into Sunday’s 1.2 mile swim/56 mile bike/13.1 mile run - my longest run is 11 miles, longest bike 58 miles and longest brick 42 to 8.5….  It’s doable and don’t confuse this admission as being a set up for excuses or a platform for nerves…I’m fine going into Sunday and am planning on just popping into form finishing with yet another PR.

We shall see, oh…we shall see…

Ok off to finish the last of my plantings then a quick run…
