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!"

Am I fighting an infection?

Well bee sting venom should be considered an infection. Afterall my ear is swollen and red and hot, all symptoms of infection. I went out for my long run today and while my time wasn't terrible it wasn't as good as I'd hoped it could have been. Plus I just didn't feel comfortable. I did 18 km at a 5:07 pace and I should be happy with that but I'd have been happier at a little quicker and more importantly feeling better during the run. On the plus side though my post run recovery was normal with no lingering effects. So I'm putting it down to 1) fighting an infection (ya I know, a bit of a stretch) and 2) the after effects of yesterday's brick. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
