I posted a few weeks ago that I was trying to conceive and continuing to race and train....looks like I got my wish because I'm almost 5 weeks pregnant! I'm extremely happy but confused as to what to do with my HIM next weekend at 6 weeks along. I have been training but not too intensely. My doctor said its up to me and "as long as I don't get kicked in the stomach in the swim or have a bad bike crash" I should be fine. Would you take these chances? Neither has happened to me during a race thus far and I hope I keep it that way.
I certainly won't be looking for PR in this race but I also am a fairly competitive person and don't know how hard it will be to hold back. Has anyone had experience here, or heard of others that have raced pregnant?
I know there are professional triathletes like Beth Gerdes remained active during the pregnancy but I'm wondering if other age groupers have or would race pregnant.
