One Too Many IRON In the Fire

Don't you just want it all? I do.

I've always been a high achiever for as long as I can remember. I want to do as many thing as well as I possibly can. I aim high and reach for the proverbial pie in the sky. I'm this way in my life and also in my athletics. When I started doing triathlons, I set my goal to qualify for the World Championships in Kona, HI in my first attempt at an Ironman. When I started running marathons, my goal was sub 3 on my first try. Now that I'm in ultra running, my goal is to go under 24 hours at the AC100. I haven't achieved any of these goals yet.

Earlier this year, I was trying to do all three of these things for this year. However, I now realize I just don't have enough resources to do them at the same time. I have decided to put Ironman on the back burner and concentrate on running. I had already paid for the Ironman entry, which I will have to give up, save a partial refund of $150.

I'll come back to the Ironman after my running goals are satisfied. I still want to go to Kona!!!
