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!"

Father's Day

It's Father's Day and I'm thinking hmmmm, rest day? Naaahh. It's long run day. The troops were coming over in the afternoon and I had to clean the pool and around the backyard and also make dinner for everyone. The run started off well enough, a moderate pace not too quick, around 5:15 per kilometre. At kilometre 7 stomach trouble started. I was having some cramps and had to slow it up a bit and at one point even walked some. I think I ate too much and too late the night before and was paying for it now. My legs felt surprisingly good given the hard ride yesterday and my heart rate was well below what I normally run at but these damn pains. I finished off 15 kilometres right about a 5:20 average pace so it wasn't a total loss. The kids came over and I cooked up a Mexican feast and everyone had a great time in and around the pool. I got a great gift from Ryan, a coupon for a photo book publishing of my photographs. I've done a couple of these and really enjoyed myself putting them together and I'm looking forward to assembling another book. Happy Father's Day!
