I was so happy with my time @ the Canton tri that I celebrated with a few beers last night.  Consequently I slept in this morning.  I got some much need rest.
Now I probably should have made today a rest day, but I couldn’t.  I took full advantage of my alone time.  I went to [...]

Ugh 0400 is way to early to be awake.  I Started the morning with my usual pre-race routine.  Got up, made coffee(most important), ate my peanut butter on toast, and got my things together.  I was at my brothers house  by 0500.
The gps told us we would get there in 2hrs, but it only took [...]

I went to the park around 1530 just to do a quick 3 miles.  It was so hot, but I wanted to get a few miles in before the race tomorrow.  I ran Wednesday night, and I like to make sure my legs felt ok.
I started my run through the park.  Picture me running along [...]

What to do on the Thursday before a race?  I needed to speed work in the pool, but I also wanted to do a bike/run brick.  I decided on a hour of weights, and the pool.  I did  4x 100, 50, 25, 25 on the 40sec for a 50.  With 30 sec rest.  The second [...]

Wednesday night track started with a 1mile warm up for me.  We were going to 500, then walk 100, for 30-35 min.  I started running with Katie Mac, Nile, and some other guys.  The first 500 was a little over a 6:00 min pace.  The next 5 we did were pretty consistent, 2:00 min per [...]

I was actually hoping it would rain tonight.  Rain means no football practice, and selfishly means more work out time for me.  I started the tour at fit club west wit 1730 ab attack.  We did waistline work with weights.  We then took the tour bus to fit club south.  I did a killer threshold [...]

No rest day for me today.  AM:  I went to the track and did a mile warm up, then a mile at 8min pace, a 1200 at 7:30 pace, an 800 at a 7:00 pace, lastly a 400 at a 6:00 min pace.  I finished with a 1mile cool down.  PM: Powerzone at fit club [...]

I made it to the beach house around 0635 Sunday morning.  I made my way to the transition area to get set up.  Everything was easy to find, and well set up.  I got marked and got my chip right away.  I set up my bike and went for a quick run to warm up.  [...]

I was falling asleep at work today.  We finished all the cases by 1400 and I had nothing to do until I got off at 1630.  I left a half hour early.  I was walking out of work with 2 of my co-workers, feeling like I could go home and take a nap.   I asked [...]

Well, I opted not to do the sizzling mile tonight.  Reily has football practice, and the stoneman tri is this weekend.  I didn’t sit around though.  I ran 5miles in the park.  It was so nice today, not near as hot as its been.  For some reason my hips and knees were really sore today??  [...]
