So, in trying to oblige Lucky, I'll post about my ridiculous slowness! I just finished a 60 mile ride and I thought I was putting the hammer down! I was standing up out of the saddle on all the hills. But including all the stop lights and 2 potty breaks, I averaged 14.7 mph. Dammit! This has been so frustrating for me. I am slow in the swim too-an average HIM swim is 50-55 min with a wetsuit. And running-well, I am down to 4min run/1 min walk due to a myriad of old joints(54) and trying tp perserve them.
Ugh! I will never be MOP but I would like to be at the front of the BOP. Haven't reached that goal in the 10-12 years I whave been racing so I doubt it will happen now. Just venting mostly. Doing more than most, I know. I pat myself on the back for the slow accomplishments but can't help in adding "but I am so effen' slow".
Anyone else tend to diminish accomplishments because they don't measure up to some stupid ideal?
