I was out getting my ass handed to me in the water at Green Lake on Tuesday from the wind and off and on again rain and just kind of thought - A rest. Maybe a few days or a week.
If I take the rest of the week off and start back on Saturday, that might be good. I feel like I have great builds for all swim, bike and run. I just ran out of steam.
Here are some quotes that I thought would help motivated myself and others trying to make it through the last drops of summer.
"I do today what others don't, so I can do tomorrow what others can't." -- Prefontaine
"A life spent defensively, worried, is a life wasted. Life to me is a series of false limits and my challenge as an athlete is to explore those limits." Lance Armstrong
"Obsessive is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated"
"Everybody wants to know what am I on? What am I on? I'm on my bike busting my *** six hours a day. What are you on?" -Lance Armstrong
"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal."
"I am building a fire, and everyday I train, I am adding fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match."
"Some dream of great accomplishments, others stay awake and do them."
"Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up," Dean Karnazes
“If you want to run, run a mile. If you want to experience life, run a marathon." Emil Zatopek
If you are not big enough to lose you are not big enough to win. Anon
Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenges, wish for more motivation. Anon

"Triathlon, from the outside looking in you can't understand it....From the inside looking out you can't explain it."
"The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare".
