Today is “tri day” - the day of the Tucson Triathlon. Start time is 6:30 AM. I roll out of bed at 5:50 AM. No I did not oversleep.. No worries, no rush…I calmly pad into the kitchen and put on the tea kettle. In truth, I wish I was at the edge of the U of A pool pulling on my swim cap and goggles. I had to withdraw from the race. (Words like withdraw and retreat are rarely associated with my name.)
That virus knocked me for a loop. My energy level is just about approaching normal. Todd, my coach, says that is expected and that it will probably take me a good 6 weeks to get back on course. Dr. Tirrito was very encouraging, as always, when he related how the same happened to him on occasions. Most importantly, I am in a healthy recovery and I am very grateful for that.
I will take a walk this morning, thinking of the participants in the triathlon. I hope that they all have a very safe and exciting day! Best wishes to all!
