Well... I've decided to bag the Denver Marathon this year. Distractions and lack of enthusiasm have caused me to abandon many of my training sessions over the last four weeks. So, I just don't think I'll be ready by October 15. This is supposed to be fun, and I just haven't been having fun with it. I've been enjoying my biking and swimming, but I just can't get geared up for the running.
On the plus side, I've gotten the green light to attempt another Ironman next year. However, it won't be Ironman Couer d'Alene, much to my chagrin. I'll be toeing the line at the 2007 Ironman Wisconsin... the same race I did two years ago in 2004. I'm actually pretty psyched up about it, as I'd like to see if I can go sub-12 hours on that course. With the twins arriving in late September or early October, it'll be a challenge, but I think Ironman Wisconsin is late enough in the season to give me the chance to be a dad and train. We'll see.
