It's just a month after IMMOO, I'm still slightly traumatized and not liking my bike or legs too much, and I've already got next season mapped out. #crazy

September 29th, 2019: IMCHOO
I'm shifting focus this year. No Olympic distance. All long course. I've got a lot of work to do, but I'm going to do it properly this year. I didn't allow myself enough recovery after IMMOO (did I mention I'm crazy?), but that all changes Monday. I've got a trainer to focus on strength training and nutrition. Less running, more swimming and biking (my poor knees need the break!). I know running is my weakness, but rather than continually pound and pound and pound the pavement, I think I really need to rest that particular area. We shall see....
Additionally, in just 18 days, I have health insurance again and can resume some therapy with the potential for anti-anxiety meds. I'm absolutely not opposed to such interventions if it is an additional measure for rest and recovery.
It's going to be tough, but I am tougher.
