I had to make the decision due to an ear infection not racing the IRONMAN world champs this Sat in Kona. I couldn't train the last weeks to get in proper shape for world champs. Furthermore, the doc said it's a healthy risk to race at the limit under these tough conditions on the beautiful pacific island. Health at first!
There was one question the whole time in my head:
What is more painful- Racing on the Queen- K or not racing?
Now I know the answer!
After racing since 2004 in Kona it's a hard time for me watching the race and not being part of the game.
I let my friends, family and sponsors know this at first. Thanks for all your kind words and motivating emails.
One of my sponsors slogan is: FAST FORWARD!
That's it!
I wish all you guys out there to race the greatest event on earth a painful day:) Remember:
You cannot enjoy the race. It's work! But the time after...
I'll keep on posting what's up until Kona 2010.
bummer! sorry to hear!
