This is sooooo OMG
Was searching for the Bintan Half Iron Man race then I realized that it was on 31 August, when I'd most probably be in USA again for training, so I probably won't be able to join it even if I wanted to.
Then I came across this gem......
Taiwan Kenting
2 November 2013
70.3 - Half Iron Man
It will be epic if I could join this...
I can even give up StanChart Marathon for this
But the chances of joining this race is close to 0.
1st, It is a grave sin to go TW without vacationing. It is not possible to do vacationing before or after 70.3 since it will probably put me in bed for a few days after the event. It is also not feasible to lug the bike around TW. (unless it is a bike-around taiwan holiday; this is even more ridiculous even though I'd absolutely love to do it if I have a chance, but it is not possible to combine this with a race of this magnitude)
2nd, annual leave is precious. It should be spent with family rather than burning calories and rubber. Bringing family out for a vacation is ok. Leaving family at home while I'm out enjoying myself alone - NOT OK.
3rd, $$$$$
4th, Triathlon is just a hobby. I shouldn't be overly investing too much time, energy and money into it. There are other more important things in life that I have to take care of, and are more deserving of my resources and attention.
Too bad *shrugs*
Andy Lau's song comes into mind:
我和我追逐的梦，擦肩而过，永远也不能重逢。
我和我追逐的梦，已在错过，只留下我，独自寂寞。却不敢回首
(this is overly dramatic though)
Damned. I should go karaoke again soon.
