A few changes to my 2010 triathlon season have occurred. The first, I am now a member of the Midcoast Triathlon Club. I'm excited about joining the team and being able to train and race with my fellow teammates. I ordered my new tri top yesterday. I'll be anxious to see what they look like.
Second, my race schedule has been changed ...
Polar Bear Tri - May 8th
Pirate Tri - June 13
Black Fly Tri Weekend - July 9-11
Beach to Beacon 10K - August 7
Fireman Tri - August 29 (this is a maybe)
Lobsterman Tri - September 18
Colby Tri - September 25
Maine Marathon - October 3
You will notice that my A race is gone. Yup. I know that is going shock a few of you. This was a decision made for personal reasons and not an easy one. Luckily my family was very supportive and understanding. My IM dreams are going to have to wait for another year and I'm okay with that. At least I am now... it took a bit to digest it. In the meantime, I plan on having a lot of fun this season and kicking some serious short course ass!!!!
Luckily my ankle seems to be healed up. Not 100% but close. My training is going well and I feel stronger than I have in a long time. I have few people joining me in the pool on Mondays & Fridays and a hoping to start running more with Ann.
So .... new teammates and new training partners. Safety in numbers! Counting down to the first tri of the season.

Oh! You knew I'd be the most sad! :( Oh well. weep.
You are going to have an awesome season! But I will miss you at CDA...
Oh gosh Robin...sorry you had to make this decision. hope you're ok. Here come short course fun!
Take it from someone that had to withdraw from an Ironman during the race. You will race stronger and be more motivated. I think sometimes we get crazy about this stuff and forget what it's all about. You seem to have a firm grasp on what is important so - GOOD FOR YOU! I look forward to seeing you on the race circuit!.
Robin, Great job listening to your inner wisdom. Priorities are like hair color - they can change, and that's what keeps things interesting.
Hope to see you soon.
