Tom Sawyer in 8 days

I'm now a little over one week away from my next triathlon, and I haven't been on my bike since the last - over a month ago. My feet are still healing from the SF Marathon, and are sure to get gharled up even more in this next event. Luckily, it is only a sprint and not an Olympic distance or longer. I have also skipped the pool the last 2-3 weeks. However, despite this lack of training, I'm feeling pretty good about competing in this next tri. I think having done 4 sprints and two olympics so far this year has really boosted my confidence. Not to mention the three half and one full marathons. I am, however, a little peturbed that I have not either toned up or lost any weight despite competing this much in the past year. I know it's my diet, and I should start eating better. I'm a slave to junk food however, and it's hard to eat healthy when time and money are always a factor. Regardless, I feel healthy and happy and would say that I could not imagine going more than a month without some kind of training or event. It's not quite an addiction yet, but it has definitely become a big part of my lifestyle.
