Here's the situation- the big race I had pegged for this year, Steelhead HIM (my second tri, first HIM), and my next opportunity to fight (Muay Thai), fall within 1 week of each other. There is really no way to do both. They require COMPLETELY different types of training and I don't think I want to do either event half-assed. I keep going back and forth.

FIGHT-I am turning 32 next week, and getting a little old for the ring. This may be one of my last chances to fight Say what you will about age not being that important, but in a sport where reflexes are everything -age does matter. Unfortunately, I am not that interested in fighting, right now. I just started doing endurance and find it much better suited to my natural abilities- not that these is a lot, but it is definitely the slowtwitch type! I just don't want to give up this chance to fight and regret it later.

RACE- I am motivated to train/race. It is all new to me and I am enjoying learning, except the bike. I enjoyed the marathon I did last month and really enjoyed my first tri last fall. Also, training for a HIM will take away less family time, which is very important to me. However, this seems like a sport that I can enjoy for many more years.

I've got to make up my mind and committ to something! Any words of wisdom?
