Good luck with it. I'm sure it will turn out good for you. You'll be running more hours than working in the week - a LOT. <BR/><BR/>Have a great week!!!Mendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968363500551483010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-3059831809440046892007-09-14T20:36:00.000-04:002007-09-14T20:36:00.000-04:00I just pick the races I truly want to do and well,...I just pick the races I truly want to do and well, CAN!

The entry fee alone for an Ironman is now pushing $500 without any travel costs. Ouch!<BR/><BR/>I look at it this way...those entry fees and gear for running are much cheaper than the psychiatrist I would need if I didn't run.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378547566593756176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-42688236421181148112007-09-14T15:39:00.000-04:002007-09-14T15:39:00.000-04:00i know, it's kinda sad how much they cost. i'd ra...i know, it's kinda sad how much they cost. i'd rather have a no fee, no aid event and just carry my stuff. how they get you is they put the races on beautiful trails that you can't resist.<BR/><BR/>i tried growing a money tree here but the soil is too rough. :(Scott McMurtreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05879663957608177567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-67015867943110758922007-09-13T20:26:00.000-04:002007-09-13T20:26:00.000-04:00Yeah David does a great show.

I'm still so new (and really haven't done much)that I keep telling my husband . . .yeah but once I get all this gear and stuff it will totally cut back. Yeaahhhh ok.

DH was giving me the lecture about making choices. *sigh* I don't want to make choices, I want to do all the stuff I want to do.

It helps, and keeps the legs strong at the same time.<BR/><BR/>Next year will be all about picking MY races, vice following a race series schedule. That will also alow me to peak when I need to, and not try to maintain a near-peak for months on end. That should also help with the cost of competition. Unless, of course, our new tri team gets some awesome sponsors and some/all of our costs are absorbed. At least I'm not racing cars or motorcycles, I guess!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232949586286921191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-73652114714327901102007-09-13T13:47:00.000-04:002007-09-13T13:47:00.000-04:00we all live in little huts & blog by candle light ...we all live in little huts & blog by candle light & live on PB & J and water :-) <BR/><BR/>but ahhhh it's worth it, right!!<BR/><BR/>all I have to say is the chitttt does add up!!! <BR/><BR/>ok have to go scan the beach for some loose change now -lol would love to upgrade to some tuna cans this month.Bob - BlogMYruns.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08529878931334675228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856118913828941953.post-73407871194801760562007-09-13T12:00:00.000-04:002007-09-13T12:00:00.000-04:00Credit cards?
