It has been a bit since I last posted-no special reason other than I have been busy and forgot to logon.
I have had a great week of training, my biking has been really solid, swimming I have felt pretty decent, and believe it or not had some really enjoyable runs the last 7-8 days.
This weekend isn't toooo brutal as I have already done the swimming piece this a.m., and will ride for an hour this afternoon-then do a 2 hour ride tomorrow followed by a transition run. T-runs are always the most interesting reminder of the disconnect between the brain and the legs after riding as it seems like when you first start running you aren't even in contact with your legs.
I talked with THE DQ( http://donnyquixote.blogspot.com/) last night for awhile and our bikes are actually in and being built as we speak. Really looking forward to getting on my new ride. When Amy and I met with DQ I had him put on Q-Rings( http://www.rotorcranksusa.com/s1-q-rings.shtml ) as the reading I have done postulates that these things help with pedal stroke efficiency and heck if former IronMan World Champion Tim DeBoom uses them they have worked for someone, right? I also will be heading into the shop to pickup some Hammer Recoverite powder(www.e-caps.com)-as the sessions get longer I have found that immediatley after working out the Hammer or Endurox recovery drinks really do help with getting the proper fuel on board to replinsh the glycogen and flush the post work crud out of the system.
I have signed up to do the sprint distance race called Race for Sight in Columbia, Mo on May 6th. Should be fun as this is a very short race and should be fun to see how the winter training has gone...and to see how much more work there is to do. BTW the weight is coming off-I would like to lose another 30 lbs before IM Wisky and I really think with my coach Jenny Weber, who is pursuing a master's degree in sport nutrition( www.getzoomperformance.com)I really have a decent shot at that goal. Pulling the weight off is good for tri but great for life!!!
Train hard, enjoy life!
