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!"

Should we make it hurt?
Justin was finally feeling better and Chris was still dialing in his P3 so we decided that riding was in order. Justin had been under the weather for about a week and hadn't ridden for several days before that either so it was likely going to hurt some for him. The question was how much were Chris and I going to make it hurt. My legs hadn't exactly recovered yet from last week so I had some sympathy for Justin and would likely ease up on him somewhat. Thankfully the wind was minimal so that was one less factor to deal with and a thankful break from the typical monsoons we'd been riding into lately. Thanks to the almost windles conditions the riding was pretty painless. A couple of stops along the way to let Justin catch up or for Chris to make some adjustments to the P3 kept the legs fresh and the ride enjoyable. Although I had a feeling Chris wanted to hammer a bit more than we did. Justin seemed to be running out of steam heading home but he was allowed. two weks off the bike and nearly 50 kilometres tends to do that to you.
