Just don’t have the motivation to race this year. I am training though. In fact, I am doing more quality stuff on the bike and am more consistent in the pool than I have been in a long time. I just don’t feel like racing. Racing isn’t what I like best about this sport anyway. I just like running, biking and swimming. I am more interested in dong long solo bike rides or achieving personal goals (improved swim) for no other reason than personal satisfaction. What has really intrigued me lately is a non-competition Ironman. I would love to do a solo Ironman. No watch or cycle computer. Just mark off the distances and go. I finish when I finish. All self supported, no witnesses. Just me and a lot of quality suffering. Anybody ever do one of these (or something like it)? Anybody else out there doing some quality training but not really interested in racing?
