A bit of a sad night but when something must end, something else must begin. In order to keep my sanity (and probably my marriage!) I had to make a compromise. I just don't think I can manage both taekwondo and triathlon training if I am going to be an assistant coach for the Colorado Springs Team in Training triathlon team. So tonight I dropped by the dojang to let Master Kunkel and some of the black belts know I have to take a break for this great opportunity. It's been a fantastic 3 years training at the US Taekwondo Academy, and how many people say they have trained with an olympian? I've made a lot of great friends and the dojang has been a wonderful social outlet for me (not to mention a physical outlet!) I hope I do stay in touch with the people there. I suppose things like this have double sided emotions. I've been doing it for so long that I am sad to go, but on the other hand, I'm leaving for an exciting opportunity. There's got to be a good metaphor for these situations...
Time to get ready for bed, as tomorrow is another morning of swimming! (The sun was out today so my bathing suit didn't freeze!)
