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!"

First physio treatment

Today was my first treatment for my groin. Encouraging news from the doctor was good to hear. The groin strain isn't that bad, not nearly like last year and the strain is in an area with good blood flow which will help healing happen quicker. So I got treatment, typical stuff, laser therapy then current inducement then some deep tissue massage. The doctor suggested that the groin injuries may be related to my running gait so I booked a gait analysis with my next treatment on Thursday. I've wanted to get my running form analyzed so now I'll be able to see what I'm doing wrong. I'm hoping this will not only help prevent future recurrances but also help me run more efficiently and improve my times.
