If only the days were about 4 hours longer I could do all the things I want to do in one day without too much stress. It is a struggle sometimes to maintain the pace. Balancing work, training and the stuff that I like to do around here. It makes it so difficult to get a decent nap anymore.
The real problem I know is that I border on obsessive with all 3 of these elements of my life. I have a great employer and so I don't want to let them down even though I could probably get away with coasting for a year or two. As to the work around here, Roo says I should be farming it out but the control freak in me ain't gonna let that happen. So that leaves my training as the only element which may have some flexibility.
And that's really what I'm struggling with. Why am I doing this Ironman thing and what specifically is the goal? I know now that I could significantly back off for several months and still do another sub 12 hour race. Or I could back off even more, focus only on endurance, and still have a decent and even fun race.
But I just can't get my head around that. I have time goals in mind which keep driving me onward, and quite frankly I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not. I have to decide what I want....better race times....or naps!
