So here’s new approach to blogging my stories to start this training cycle … – Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
Obsession, pain and repairs …
The title of this post is the best way to describe the last week or so of my training. I’ve come to the conclusion that i’m totally obsessed with my training right now .. its really all I think about when i’m not working or spending time with my family. I find that i’m always […]
Go anaerobic everyday …
I somehow find myself being inspired these days by an 80-year old Ironman triathlete named Lew Hollander. I first saw his profile on last Decembers Ironman triathlon championship in Kona, Hawaii that I had on the DVR (and have since watched several times since). Since I watched it so many times, I just had to […]
my analysis of me
Who better to analyze myself but me, right? So the results of Saturdays tri were posted, which gave me the opportunity to figure out what I need to do better next time. Overall, I finished 398 out of 594 with a 1:47 time, which for my first tri, I guess isn’t too bad. In looking […]
GTN triathlon post race report
I haven’t been good at writing in my blog in recent weeks, but I couldn’t go without writing a post race report for the Got the Nerve? triathlon.. I guess to sum it up in a few words? I did it! I headed out to Mt Gretna early in the afternoon on Friday to get […]
The final stretch …
I finished off my last hard week of training last week before a step-back week with the St Lukes Hospice 25-mile bike ride on Saturday 4/2, which I had written about being nervous about competing in. It turned out to be a piece of cake, I felt like a pro out there with the other […]
Tomorrows bike race ..
Its the evening before my first bike race, well, I guess its not really a race, its more of a ride since its not timed and its all for charity. I kind of feel like I did before my first 5K race 6 years ago, and i’m not sure why. I’m good on the bike […]
soreness is bliss ..
I can’t say that my body is feeling any better after a recovery week, but the way I built my training plan, I guess I couldn’t expect to feel too rested. I don’t have another recovery week until the week of the Doylestown duathlon on April 9th, which is in just 5 short weeks, so […]
what a recovery week …
It seems that my first week of recovery in my triathlon training program has left me with sore knees, a sore back and a sore tailbone (no jokes please). Even though i’m supposed to be taking it easy, I still did the circuit workout with Stacey on Tuesday morning, which was just brutal .. we […]
Slowly getting there
Its kind of a good thing that this is a recovery week coming up, because over the past 4 weeks of triathlon training I’ve pushed myself to all kinds of new limits. For instance, this past week, i had yet another high in the training minutes peaking at 545 minutes. The big difference over the […]
