Just make sure you get in a lot of cardio training while in Italy. I don't know how you'll race, but I'm sure you'll be much happier.

Your wife may be pissed but unless you're going on a honeymoon longer than two weeks, you will be ok. Chances are you will at least be able to ride a stationary bike a couple of times and run a little on a treadmill while you're there. You would probably be faster if you didn't take the time off and I might not do it if I was fighting for a Kona spot at IMLP but if your concern is a DNF, you don't need to worry. I got married on Memorial Day weekend and then did IMC in August. I had a month more than you will in between but I would have been ok doing an IM in July too.

Anyone who tells you they're as fast now as they were when they were 18...
sure wasn't very fast when they were 18.

The thing about this sport is you can do it for a long time. Chill out have a great honeymoon and race some other time. I would think your first priority is your new marriage. If it isn't see if your wife to be will delay the date 1 year :-)
