A sunken cost falacy?

I have been thinking that it is perhaps time to realise that I need to put the idea of doing heavy fighting in the SCA on the shelf and move on.

Over the past 8 years there have been a bunch of injuries, foot, tendinitis, blew some musles in my right shoulder 6 years ago. Most have healed quite well but the shoulder while quite good, still somehing that worries me. and I do not seem to find the energy to do both good and decent training for my body also as time goes I find that recovery takes longer. This makes it harder to  find the joy to do HF. 

I have never been a tournament fighter, I simply do not enjoy them, my favourite thing has allways been melees especially leading, commanding and getting units to work together on the field, As the oppertunity to do melees with a team has become less in my event going, the joy to spend time doing HF has decreased as well.

Perhaps this is something I should have said earlier, but this is were the sunk cost falacy comes in, the hours of practice, the going to events, the spending of funds and making armour does create an emotional connection to an acctivity. I have at times seen HF as what I am doing in the SCA but to be honest I have mostly been doing other stuff, autocrating, organizing, holding offices, cooking and slacking, a most important activity.

So where does this leave me, an advantage with the SCA is that it is quite easy to shift your focus and maintain your friends, also there is a plethora of stuff to do. I might pick up fencing, I like martial arts, but I find HF to take to much of a toll on my body, there is archery, cooking, dancing etc etc. I can sell off some armour to fund some other activities - see the sunk cost. Now I would love to join in the Drachenwald army if it ever goes on another adventure. So I will have to see what to do for the future.
