There is not a force in the world that can take me all the way to 1500 miles this year. I have reached my ultimate running goal by doing Boston. So I decided to try a new sport. Now I swim 3-5 days a week, ride the bike 3 times a week and only run 3 days a week. I cannot even see the rabbitshit, its beyond the horizon somewhere. But I am signing up in a new group with lesser milage goals. 2000km looks still doable....we will see. Thanks to all of you still hanging in! You helped me reaching my goals!!

Congrats on Boston, Arne. And good luck w/the new routine and goals!

Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.

Thanks Guys! I will make sure not to run over Daddyo. Since TRI is new to me I still use my old very heavy steel bike so bevare. I am now descending down to the 2000 club (metric). I have a sprint TRI coming up in July, if it turns out to be a disaster I will be back in this group running away from those memories. Good luck to all of you in the coming races!!! Cheers Arne

Good luck on your tri, Arne! I wish we had some duathlons around here. I think I could get down with the biking and running...but I don't like getting wet! Tongue
