I have been racing for 11 years (2 attempts at Ironman that were unsuccessful) 7 half ironmans, 9 marathons and so many half marathons I lost count. This was to be my year to attempt another full ironman but my body said no. Anemia and thyroid issues were the telling tale and now I am scaling back. Your blog has given me kind of a road map of what to do next...many thanks.Trigirlorlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357401054434855982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-69076785101223702842010-07-11T16:09:09.889-07:002010-07-11T16:09:09.889-07:00The best way to avoid burnout is a find a "tr...The best way to avoid burnout is a find a "tri-newbie" and coach them to their first race.

I'm thinking of taking next year off from Ultrarunning, maybe just run a marathon or two, and do a couple more sprint Tri's. I think a good way to recharge the batteries is to do something outside of the norm, in my case some Tri's, in your case probably the trail running. The key I feel is that it has to have a high degree of "fun" attached to it!Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08887866077099979177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-6612590817010910222010-07-07T21:09:59.635-07:002010-07-07T21:09:59.635-07:00Nice to know you are human after all. :D I'm s...Nice to know you are human after all. :D I'm secretly feeling a little less guilty about my own slacking off this year. <br /><br />Catalina would be a great place to train in the summer too. Cool, fresh ocean breeze, no smog. They have a killer 4th of July bash there every yr too. Maybe next year. Nice dive shop if you want to snorkel too.Grey Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238917041257429804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-79692982144300838692010-07-07T15:49:07.298-07:002010-07-07T15:49:07.298-07:00It sounds like you're doing a good job of gett...It sounds like you're doing a good job of getting the joy back.
