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!"

Feeling good then not so good

With the rain this week my schedule is flipped around. Normally I'd be riding tonight but Justin and I did that yesterday so I went for a swim this morning and a run tonight. With the race on Saturday I'm trying to get the more intense stuff in early so I can have fresh legs. I swam 2100 metres, the most I've done in several months and except for the first 300 metres or so I felt pretty good so I'm pretty happy about that. My run was a little taxing, only 9.5 kilometres and still a 4:54 pace but my perceived effort seemed higher than normal. I had to get up a couple of hours earlier this morning and I did have the longer swim but I'm not sure I can blame that. So I'll "taper" a bit tomorrow and Thursday (come on Niko it's only a sprint) and be ready for the race.
