You could tally all of your trans-Atlantic miles and do a custom sticker at the end of the year? I'd take summer Olympics in the UK over IM any day / every day - congrats on your decision and direction, you seem to have a great handle on it...<br /><br />DDRoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126561738590093533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284978644306844260.post-61127775565010957482012-04-14T01:07:50.557-04:002012-04-14T01:07:50.557-04:00it sounds like you are making the wise, if very di...it sounds like you are making the wise, if very difficult, choice here. triathlon isn't going anywhere, after all. hang in there!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08696705811259786752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284978644306844260.post-1662418298312509192012-04-13T15:28:11.503-04:002012-04-13T15:28:11.503-04:00Thanks for the kind words!

I'll be working and not attending events, but if London is anything like Vancouver, tickets were available during the Games at select competitions. There was also a legal "black market" so you could buy the tickets from resellers who had secured them in the lottery releases. You may not always get the best price, but it at least allowed access to events. Good luck!Kristin Bradfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153520360380713154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284978644306844260.post-57994116144371723932012-04-13T15:24:13.112-04:002012-04-13T15:24:13.112-04:00You are not alone.

It can't fit in every year....that's ok becuase it will be around when you're ready to come back and you're already and Ironman and that can never change.<br /><br />If it makes you feel better I'm taking 2 weeks off from my IMAZ training to attend the Olympics too :) So far we're seeing canoe slalom and "ping pong". Any idea if there is another stash of tix to be released before the games???Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06081641803045845315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6284978644306844260.post-17448354338225722592012-04-13T12:22:44.989-04:002012-04-13T12:22:44.989-04:00Oh my gosh Kristin... we are in the SAME place.
