... and my Boulder 70.3 streak continues

This race is my white whale.  I've signed up for the Boulder 70.3 (nee 5430 Long Course) four times, and I've never finished the race.  Twice, I stopped due to injury.  Once, I bagged the 2nd loop of the run because it was REALLY hot, and I didn't want to kill myself too close to IMWI... figured I'd just treat it as a swim/bike/run brick workout.  The fourth time, I was kind of in a funk and didn't even bother to get up and start the race.

This year was not only going to be my redemption, but I was gunning for my first sub-5:00 finish.  Alas, this stupid achilles injury has not resolved.  My doc officially informed me on Tuesday that he "strongly advise[s] [me] not to run the half-marathon."  Looks like I'll be doing an aqua-bike this year.

    Sorry to hear that Steve, especially for your A race. Have a good time anyway. Have a great swim and enjoy the bike! I think there will be 3 more of us, Aaron, Mike and myself flyin the EN kit. Hopefully we'll meet up!
