I never wrote a race report for Ironman USA 2003. I did write a short Xtri piece, but that was it. There was so much going on outside of IM—so many things—I had no business being there.
I've never written this out but, after 5 years, I think I can probably talk about the backstory. Some of you know, but most of you don't.
After IMC 2001 I had decided with Lynda that I wasn't going to go back to IM until we'd had a baby. That after 4 years of racing IM's every Summer, now it was time to step back and be a regular person for awhile. We'd just bought our house, and it needed lots of work. She'd been an Ironman widow every year in June, July, and August, since we were first dating, and now it was time to finally give the big stuff a rest.
