Pete Pulls a Palin - Abandons Triathlon
Yeah, I hear you.
Pretty sure I know what you're thinking. (I'm thinking it too.) Click this link to hear the non-4-letter word describing my quitting that you're too polite to say out loud.
And yet.
- While I won't be taking any random-scheduled tours on a bus,
I will certainly be touring on my bicycle more.
- While I won't taunt the media about possibly running for the highest public office,
it is possible I'll be running for higher weekly mileage.
- And when things don't go swimmingly for me, I won't wade into safer water;
I'll instead keep my mouth shut, dive in, and do some laps.
Before you know it, I may be posting a new challenge that's caught my fancy.
Meantime, feel free to:
• Dump duties,
• Run from responsibilities,
• Abdicate appointments,
• And otherwise shirk the shackles of assignments, just as long as you haven't sworn an oath saying otherwise.
Bottom line? The June 12 half-ironman I signed up for didn't mandate any swearing, but it did require sweating that I wasn't able to live up to. This time.
Thanks for reading way down here.
