Crazy from the Heat
Ahhh, what post isn’t made just a little brighter with a David Lee Roth reference, hmm?? Week Two of heat-slash-marathon training came roaring to life with a 12 and 4 brick this afternoon and even though it’s not getting any easier, at least it’s not getting harder. So I got that going for me. (A Caddyshack reference, […]
Family Training Day
For most of our training, The Hubs and I can work out a schedule that leaves one of us at home with the boys while the other of us is out for a run or a ride. Occasionally, there’s a short amount of overlap time (my boys are 12 and 10 – trust me, they can […]
Heat Training
In preparation for next month’s triathlon, which is sure to be even hotter than last week’s, I decided that I really need to get acclimated to the heat during training. Okay, to be honest, my work schedule made the final decision for me, since I work the 5 am – 10 am shift most days […]
TRI for FUN Race Report
The short version: WOOOO HOOOOOOOO! The long version:I realized yesterday that I was feeling really good, really confident and really excited about today’s race. I had a nice pasta dinner, I pre-hydrated, and I got to bed at a reasonable hour. But when the alarm went off at 5, the nerves hit hard. Honestly, I wonder […]
Three Things Thursday
I unintentionally took today off. What was that all about? I meant to swim today, but had just enough puttering around to do that I didn’t get in the pool before work. Then I didn’t get in the pool before dinner. And now I need to get into bed because I work at 5 am […]
OWS and Race Goals
I had the most awesomest, fan-freakin-tastical Open Water Swim today! And not a moment too soon, since my tri is just a week away and I was seriously wondering if I was gonna be able to pull it off. As soon as I got in the water today, I felt great. I simply didn’t let […]
Tryin’ out my TRI
You know the Principle of Specificity? Well, I took it to a whole ‘nuther level today and did a swim, bike and run on the exact course where my TRI will be in two weeks. How did that work out for me? The short answer is “It kicked my booty.” The long answer is much […]
Swim Day
I did it!! I swam a whole MILE!! I had to post about this because The Hubs is already quite tired of hearing about it (“Sorry I didn’t get dinner started yet, I swam a mile.” “Oh, yeah, earlier when I swam a mile, I was thinking about your dentist appointment.” “I’m a little gassy […]
Bike/Run Brick
Most of the time, when I’m done with a workout, I feel pretty awesome. The endorphins have kicked in, I’m feeling proud of myself for getting my booty out the door and I gave it my best shot. Sometimes, and this is very rare, I’ll have a tough day on the roads and I need […]
