Welp, another great week in the books. You know it has been good when you feel completely wasted at the end.
Monday – Off (08.23.10)
Tuesday (08.24.10)
Feno and I did some crazy swim workout that are training plan called for. I don’t even really know what to call it other than “the crazy”. I’ll see if I [...]
I’m really getting bad with these belated posts. It’s been so long since I’ve written about my training that I don’t even remember what I did. I’ll see if I can jar my memory and figure it out.
I haven’t blogged since Monday, here is an update!
Tuesday
I usually do a nice interval workout with the running club, but only one guy showed up (faithful Harvey). We did 30 minutes on the bike and than a 30 minute run. Since we weren’t doing any speed work, I tried to run a good tempo pace [...]
I haven’t blogged since Wednesday so here is another little catchup post. My bike is still in the shop, so Thursday I went to the gym and road the trainer for one hour. I put The Lord of the Rings – Two Towers on my iPhone the night before, so I was ready to go! [...]
Here is a brief catchup post on my training this week.
Monday
After “The Incident” on Saturday, I took Sunday off and pushed to go to the Gym on Monday. There was no way on earth I could swim, so I just road the trainer for 45 minutes and called it a quits. The trainer at the [...]
A little late with this one, needless to say life got really crazy over the weekend, so I’ve not been able to write for a few days. This past Saturday I wanted to ride 50 miles (10 more than the week before).
I woke up at 6:15am, and got everything ready to go. I brought food [...]
My toddler (almost 3) kept us up last night. For some reason he was extremely wired and just couldn’t fall asleep. I was supposed to swim today and possibly ride the bike, but I decided to stay in bed and get some much needed shut eye. Though I did do a pretty good core workout [...]
Today I met with the local running club to run the Tuesday track session. I haven’t ran intervals in a few weeks. I’ve been trying to stick to our half ironman training schedule, so our interval runs have been few and far between. We ran 1.5mi warm up to the track, then did 4 x [...]
I woke up early this morning to meet the guys at the gym at 5:00am. We did a pretty stretching swim which consisted of a 200m warm up, 600m at medium effort and then a 600m all out. The battery on my watch failed, so I wasn’t able to keep track of my splits. It’s [...]
I missed a few training posts, so I’ll make up for it here.
Monday
The day after the triathlon. I wasn’t as sore as I thought I would be, so I didn’t want to waste any time. I did a real good core workout, and then did some lunges and stairs. It was probably only a 35 [...]
This past Sunday I participated in the 22nd Annual Jefferson Heritage Triathlon, held at Lake of the Pines here in Northeast Texas. It was 1 year ago where I watched my buddy / co-worker Justin Rector do this same event, and inspired me to come back this year and try it myself. This is my [...]
Better late than never! I’m posting this training session a day late. I took today off to rest up for the Jefferson Heritage Triathlon this Sunday. Yesterday I went to the gym and spent 15 minutes on the row machine, about 20 minutes doing core exercises and upper back, and then 25 minutes on the [...]
Welcome to water aerobics. I’m your instructor, Ms. Old Lady with too much lipstick. Today we will be isolating two of the three swimming lanes and agitating the water to tsunami proportions. Make sure you stare at the young guy in the speedo, to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible.
It seems like I can’t [...]
This is the first post tracking my Half Ironman training. I’ve been training for a few weeks now, but this is the first time actually documenting it.
I missed yesterday’s brick workout with the guys (not sure if they did the one that was planned), so I wasn’t sure what today’s training entailed. I some how [...]
Yesterday afternoon I signed up for the much anticipated Austin Half Ironman. The race was not cheap, and I have all of my friends and family to thank for helping support me accomplish a dream. Not only was the entire race payed for by friends, but my wife and I have somewhere to park our [...]
