Time To Embrace The Slow?

Was scheduled to do one more Sprint Triathlon in two weeks, but got pretty sick Thanksgiving and wound up at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Friday for scans and blood work. Thought kidney stone had shifted based on pain and getting sick, but scans showed all clear, though stone still there.
Back on chemo now and legs cramping/spasms.
Had kidney stone end of July, plantar issue for three months, and tendinitis.

Plus adjusting to being back on chemo.
 
So all those things added up to some degree in my training. I have had some positive signs and looking to correct and modify as needed. I registered for Galveston 70.3 in April and people have suggested resting a bit and keep my eye on that race (though I scheduled a Sprint for March before I signed up for Galveston).
It kind of makes sense.
 
If I call it a year, did this
3 Sprint Triathlon Relays
3 Sprint Triathlons Solo
1 Olympic Triathlon Relay
3 5K.
1 7.6K
1 1/2 Marathon
1 70.3 (Finished 69.2 miles due to extended bike, pulled from course 10.1 miles into run)
 
Looks like not a bad idea to #embracetheslow
