I feel the time is coming. The time when, if I am going to do and Ironman, I should decide which one I am going to do. When I start to think about this more and more factors come into play. Should I do an Ironman syndicated event or a Long Distance Triathlon? Where is the flattest course? Should I go abroad to do it? What about time of year/temperature? Should I do it at all? What about all the training? Will I be ready - ever? What about my toe? And on and on and on. Can I make a decision? Nope, hopelessly lost without a clue. One thing I know for sure is that if I don't enter one, I will never do one, and when I sit in my chair in the old peoples home, the one by the window, back against the wall and across the room from the TV with daytime TV showing. What will I think then? Will I always regret never having done an Ironman? Will I think I should have done an Ironman syndicated event?
I guess 1 answer is, play it safe and just enter one, enter an Ironman sanctioned event and if I fail, then I fail trying. Another is, you only live once, you don't know whats coming around the next corner, so get on with it. And finally, no one said it was going to be easy, in fact if it was it would not be worth doing.
I know all these things, so what to do?
