To Race or Not To Race...

That is the question this weekend. I have a few friends doing the Healthy Kidney 10k in CP tomorrow, but thank goodness I didn't sign up for that. I have work tomorrow. I'm talking about the Queens biathlon. Off the top of my head, here are my reasons for doing and not doing the race:

Pros:

• IT'S FUN! This weighs heavily. I love racing on my bike and this might be the only time this year I get to do so.
• Several colleagues doing the race.
• Small race, which means I could win my age group. Last year I was 2nd and I didn't feel like I was quite as serious.

Cons:

• NOT RACE READY. Labored through what was supposed to be an easy 14-mile spin around Central Park today.
• Spending money on a race that doesn't count for the 9 towards the NYC marathon.
• Have work to finish on Sunday.
• Race forecast is mid-50's and showers, like the marathon.
  
• Only 2 weeks removed from the marathon. I should still be recovering. See first reason.

Not sure what I'm going to do yet.
