Discouraged...

I sent an e-mail about 15 seconds ago inquiring about the possibility of a rollover from 2011 to 2012's Ironman Louisville. Their site says "No deferals or transfers," but I don't know if that means no 'rollovers'.
I don't know that I'll have to do this yet, but my Achilles is not doing well and I want to know how late I can choose to rollover my entry...if that is even a possibility.

Currently I am rather discouraged because I am starting to enter the acceptance phase of my injury. ...again. I started to build gradually, but I've reached a point where what I'm doing is not enough.

The curse words I am thinking about this situation are not being articulated on this post, and I'm trying not to let this get me down. I'm in sunny Florida, I rode 25 miles and enjoyed it. It's sunny and warm for cryin' out loud!

I have a lot to be thankful for...so I'm trying not to be too pissed off and dejected.

I haven't lost hope yet, but I'm preparing for the possibility of not being able to do IMLOU this year. For now, I'm calling this a detour on the Road to Ironman Louisville.

Peace,
~Sam
