A better day in the pool. Unlike Monday I felt much better in the water, didn't get tired and didn't get any soreness in my back. My time though still sucked and will probably continue to. After swimming I had my second dental appointment of the week which was fine except that I got frozen to the max. I think I bit my tongue a couple of times but hey, I couldn't tell. The funny part though was fate my appointment when I went for a run. About 20 minutes into the run I realized I was drooling down the side of my mouth. I would have laughed but, you know, my mouth was frozen. Anyway I was pretty happy again with my run. Twelve kilometres at a 4:52 pace. As bad as I feel about my swim I feel really good about my run. Thankfully the swim is the shortest of the three as well as the first so I can get it out of the way right off the bat. Wednesday night so I'm cooking for Tammy and Cassie. Tonight was Mexican. I made homemade salsa, a caramelized chipotle chicken leg and pan fried vegetables cooked up with some of the salsa. I never saw plates emptied so quickly and completely. I guess the girls like their Mexican.

Welcome to TRI-CHOTOMY.
I'm just an averge age grouper blogging about Triathlon Training and this complex puzzle of juggling life, having fun and the Tri(als) and Tri(bulations) of "My Reality Show". With the Miami Ironman 70.3 race now in the books I've set a new goal, competing and completing Ironman Louisville 2011 in August. Twice the distance, twice the pain, twice the fun. As a warm up race and I never would have believed hearing myself say this, I'll be doing Ironman 70.3 Rhode Island in July. Once again I'll be sharing these experiences with my great friends Chris and Justin and look forward to the next several months of training and racing with them.
I'll share my training, race and gear experiences and hope you'll comment and even offer advice from your experiences.
Remember,
"Pain is Temporary, Quitting Lasts Forever".
"Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, cliff bar in one hand, Gatorade in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
"You can sleep when you're dead!"
