Never have I had this sort of motivation, never have I been this fit in March, never have I cared like I currently do about a sport that I participate in, never ever have I had athletic goals like this.
All of this has a huge downside though. I might break myself in this process.
The first way I break is by actually breaking. That would suck. Injuries suck - real bad. My training involves lots of intensity and I may be setting myself up for failure if I am not careful.
The next way I could break (and is more likely) is through burnout. I am in some control over this so I guess it's ultimately up to me to watch out for this. If anyone who is reading this has any experiences or tips to share, please do!
This being said, I am very hopeful given where I am on this 13th of March. It's gonna be a good year if I can hold it together. It's gonna be a really good year. It'll be an extra good year if I remember to start swimming more than a week before I go to race.
Happy training! It's looking more like spring in Boulder and I'm cool with that - rooftop beers can't come soon enough.
