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!"

End to a tough week.

The morning starts with a walk with Kona. Poor pup has been missing her walks lately so I'll take her for a good one today. Two hours later we get back home and she quickly makes a beeline for her water bowl. She's happy and heads for her favourite spot, the bay window where she settles down and gazes out over her world. I however have more to do thanks to yesterday's rain. Forety-five minutes to mow the lawn, and a hour to skim the leaves out of the pool and then vaccuum it. Now I can relax ......... ummmm no. Time to run. Today is long run day so into my running gear and off I go. I want to get 15 kilometres in, about an hour and a half, at an easy pace. So much for that idea. Seventeen and a half kilometres at a 4:54 pace. I've been really working on my run all winter and spring and its coming together and hopefully I can maintain it through to Miami. My run had been my concern all along but now I'm feeling very comfortable with it. Now I can relax. OK, not yet. Still have my weekly tennis match with Tammy. Off to the club we go for a couple of sets and thank you very much Tammy for running me around the court and giving me a workout since I hadn't done much today.
