Did you have fun at Galveston? If yes, continue. If not, then might be time to re-evaluate.This is complicated.
Hated the swim since I am not strong and I got lost at the start. Loved the bike and had a great time on that. Liked the parts of the run where I could actually run. Loved finishing.
I just wonder if there is room for non-athletic people like me. But really, I'm just navel gazing.
The swim was horrible. But they're not all that bad. Maybe just some more open water practice. But that was a hard swim.
And it doesn't sound like you're non - athletic. You finished a 1/2 ironman. Be proud of yourself. And easier said than done - don't compare yourself to others. If you like it and are getting better than continue.
Thanks, I know this is lame, but this is what I needed to hear. I think I just got embarrassed by having to have a kayak guide me back to the bouy after I got lost. Hahaha. I need more swim practice. AND need to stop comparing myself to others!
