Anyone tired of racing? After 2.5 decades of triathlon, I still love a morning swim, an eyeball-bleeding 30/40mi. training ride, a good trail run 2-4x/wk., and a combination of the three a few days of the week. But the entire... "$fee, pack-up, travel, transition area, travel home, unpack thing" has faded to a mere flicker for me. Anybody else?
A race seems to spoil a good training weekend.
I’m the exact opposite
I don’t train unless I have a race in the next month or two
Did my first race Lake Placid 35 years ago.
Now I train as little as possible and only bike 4 times a month. I do lunges during the week to simulate the bike
ooh how I like the stress and anticipation of racing. I feel it a month in advance. That’s what motivates me to train. BUT I only do sprints so maybe that is why
