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!"

Back at it

So after a few days off I decided that my back and heal were feeling pretty good so I should get back at it. Justin couldn't make it up till the afternoon so I flipped the brick and did my run first. I ran 10 km with no ill effects on my back or heal and felt good about getting my training back on track. When Justin got here we decided on a 2 hour ride. 60 km would have been a 30 kph average speed which would have been an excellent pace for him but we fell a bit short. The ride north was pretty good because we had a tailwind but the return trip sucked Justin's legs dry. The terrain was a little rolling with one have decent climb and that combined with the new headwind taxed Justin. I think he was happy though because 2 hours was well beyond what he'd biked in the past. Little does he now though, the worst is yet to come (insert evil laugh here).
