This year is taking too much time away from training, and I really need to do well in the summer exams, as they determine ranking and jobs, so I've swapped from 'Ironman' to half-Ironman as my goal in 2014, and pre-entered the 'Ironman' event in 2015.
This is a wise choice as I have about 12 weeks off in 2015 as opposed to potentially none before the race this year, but I'm still a little gutted.
May enter a few shorter length races just for fun, too.
Good luck on the full, Ed- with your amount of training you'll smash it.
