Here is a moral quandary for the Twitchiverse to ponder:
Yesterday I got caught up on the phone with a buddy of mine who was like a brother growing up, but who, up until yesterday, I had not spoken to/seen in years. No particular reason - we grew up and drifted. During the conversation he told me he had recently gotten engaged and wanted me to be a groomsman in his wedding.
His wedding day? October 11, 2014.
Athletically I am right on the cusp of qualifying for Kona. It can be a crapshoot obviously, but qualifying was my plan for this year and I've really gone all-in on coaching, preparation, clearing my calendar, and getting the important people in my life on board. Kona will always be there but I was really planning on this year being "my year" to qualify.
So - what do I do? Anyone else been in this situation before? I think if I explained it to my buddy he would understand, but I am pretty sure his fiance would be offended, although I don't know her that well.
