The heat index here seems to stay over a hundred. Did I expect any different? It seems to be taking its toll on my on my runs. Afterward, I am just done. For instance, after my hour run this morning, when I finally got cool, I was just done. Maybe 80 is too old for this sport.? Maybe God is just showing me so I won't question and won't whine about having to give this beast up? I don't know. Another day of full realization that I am truly in over my head.
I got in a short indoor bike ride and did a full body weight, strength, and flexibility session. So I guess it wasn't too bad. Truth be said, I really want to quit about now. I don't know, maybe age 80 makes me war weary and I am ready to settle in with no more wars. I have been at this endurance sports thing for over 40 years.
I try not to make any decisions when I am tired or discouraged or haven't prayed about it. There is a consideration to do another half ironman ( Oilman Triathlon November 10th) about a month later than Waco 70.3. It would give me time in cooler weather to prepare and perhaps have a better chance. It's a thought. But I am very tired, somewhat discouraged, and haven't prayed much about it.
