Hello all - I'm sure this has been talked about ALOT over the years but would love to hear stories of people who have dealt with it.
I started tris in 2015. I was 25 single and my career wasn't too bad yet (junior doctor - bad hours but you get enough rest days to make up for it)
Managed to make it to FoP in age group peaking around a year ago - consistently top 10 occasionally top 5 sadly never a podium at 70.3
Since then am in a great relationship and my career has taken off and I've hit the big 30 recently. I've also let my training slip. Work is longer and harder and my free time feels more precious.
On paper my life is better but in myself I'm a stone heavier and am definitely now back in MoP. Would love to hear from people who have let there sport slip like this - did you manage to get back on top of training? or did you say ok and relax training for a while and focus on other things?
