Seriously debating doing the Forestport sprint tri on Sunday. The hubs is working this weekend (so he can't complain about it LOL), it has a 10am start (so even though it's a little over an hour drive, I wouldn't have to leave the house until 7:15 to get there by 8:30 for registration/racking), and it is only $15 ($23 if I want a shirt). Decisions, decisions...

Got in some final running & swimming yesterday before returning to the hot south. Then did some biking & lifting today as biking is always feasible in 90+ degree heat. Getting some minor surgery done tomorrow on the back (fitness unrelated), so hoping it'll be done and I'll be back in action with enough time to hit my monthly mileage targets. Looks like I have roughly an ironman's worth of distance to complete over the next 6 days.

Following minor surgery on Wednesday the doctor put me on the bench until the incision in my back is closed up next week. I'm disappointed to be missing my goals for the month, but given I have a large open wound on my body, I don't want to aggravate things too much. Doing a massive amount of walking in the interim as I'm not cleared for anything else.

I think given my severe stomach discomfort following last year's Pittsburgh Triathlon, and the inflamed/erupted cyst following this year's race, I'll be skipping any races involving swimming in urban rivers for the next year or two.

@Ohhim - get better soon!

@Mr_Knight - no swimming this month?

@csman49 - looks terrifying....I'd kill myself! LOL I have a friend who wants me to try cross with her, but I told her not until after my October half is over, in case I hurt myself.

Well done everyone! I totally let the side down in August! But hoping to get back on it in September.

My town has its local 10km run/race coming up in the next 2 weeks. I briefly considered it, but haven't been training that distance in a while, and haven't actually trained at all in a while, so dismissed the idea as being a pathway to injury for me!
