Take A Bow
I am officially ending my training for the Elkhart Lake Triathlon. Yes I know many people were looking forward to cheering me on as I crossed the finished line, but its not going to happen this June. At a little over a month out, I realized that given what I am up to, I am not prepared nor wiling to do what it would take to fulfill upon my commitment to this event. So all the money I did raise is going directly to LLS in support of ending blood cancers.
I am going to continue to support my teammate Cosette as she finishes strong! You may donate to her on my behald at http://pages.teamintraining.org/il/weltri09/cyisrael. So it is with some sadness that I must remove Triathlete from my list of activities, BUT I had a GREAT time training. I overcame a huge fear of swiming AND rediscovered a love for biking. I am still not a fan of running, but I had a blast nonetheless.
I urge any and everyone to take on a challenge like this because it really foces you to look at who you are and what you are willing to do. I will be taking on competitive ballroom dancing because I LOOOOVE to dance and this is one training regimine I will stick with. Perhaps I will participate in a Dance-a-thon so look out for another opportunity to make a difference!
