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!"

How do I run?

I had another physio treatment today, nothing unusual. My groin I'd coming along really well but I also had my video run analysis with Dr. Definney. It was very interesting seeing myself run and having someone who knows how to run commenting on what I'm doing right or wrong and how to make corrections to help become more efficient. I also wanted to know if I was doing anything that may have caused my re-occurring groin injury. Apparently I was. Its related to my right foot and the fact that my right big toe is pretty much inflexible and that causes me to compensate in my stride with my left leg which puts stress on my left groin. He showed me how to change my stride to relieve that and some other things to change to hopefully make me a better runner. But then it may be hard to teach this old dog new tricks.
