I am sure that there are people out there who will tell me that I wasn't prepared for the heat, or that my GI problems that caused me to throw up at mile 20 on the bike are partially to blame. The problem with that is that I don't buy. I wasn't ready. That's it, I simply wasn't ready.
I'm now torn between being upset by that and a single minded drive to prepare for next season NOW, and the realization that I might need to go play some other sports for a while and come back to this in a few months.
I have 2 more tri's this year. That will take me to 12, I think, races overall this season, certainly a lot but I am trying to catch up on race experience and the only way to do that is to... well, race.
I am also looking into the Cyclocross series and a winter mountain bike race series nearby. Both of those should help. Great for staying fit and a good break from what I am currently doing.
Anyhow, more later.

ugh. ok.
1. how do you feel you were even prepared for that race? you were riding (literally) on your fitness and fitness alone. you weren't prepared. how long has it been since you've truly worked out?
2. you do not suck at this. and you know it. you had a shitty race (in your eyes only btw, the race results don't lie). that's going to happen. period.
3. ps-i added another race to your schedule. hee hee THEN we'll take a break...
