injury, $$, desire

Weird but the above is what's on my mind lately.

Injury.
Yesterday I had to fit in a bike ride and couldn't do it outside because of logistics. I got the bike set up on the trainer and off I went for 3 hours of 'tough love'. 10 minutes into it my bike popped out of the trainer. Had this moment been caught on video it would have won some prize money I'm sure. First the bike flew in the air before careening towards the floor. I couldn't get unclipped mid-air (I knew I should have joined the circus as a child) so I went careening towards the floor also. I banged up my right hip something awful but it's my back, abs and left hip that are hurting today. I'm waiting for John to finish helping his brother move some stuff before I can test out a long run to loosen me up.

Money.
I'm not sure if I can afford to get to Penticton to watch IMC. I'm sorta freaking out about this because I really want to go for it next year. I'm unlikely to qualify at another event, but there's always lottery or community charity spots. I'd rather a sure 'in' than betting on the other options. Also I so badly want to see my friend Kerry cross the finish line. She's worked so hard this year - I don't want to miss it. So my options are drive the van Fri night (gas $$ is the problem here) or book a flight and catch a ride with my friend Eric from Kelowna (I'm thinking this might be the cheaper option). Still the money is supremely tight this month. Ok, I'm just typing to think outloud. Hoping for clarity.

Desire.
Yes, I want to do Iroman. I'm not so sure about Sylvan but I'm hoping I'll feel better about this in the coming weeks. I'm just so happy with my result at GWN (which truly surprised me even though it was my goal) I don't want to have anything to compare it to until next year! But that's ok, and by the way - I plan on working towards a sub 6 hour for 09 GWN. I believe I can do it too.

I'm in bed (probably the worst place to be when your back is hurting) and feel like napping all the time so I also have to consider seeing the doctor this week to get some blood work done because something feels a bit 'off'.

Cheers and happy training to everyone!
