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!"

Another low volume Monday

It seems Monday's are becoming lower volume training days. Not by design though. It seems that every Monday I'm nursing some hurts. My shoulder is recovering but not perfect so I got in the pool for a few laps hoping to get 2000 m in. I got to 1200 m and felt a tweak in my hip flexor/groin area. this has been ongoing with good days and not so good days but I've learned that if I stop as soon as I feel anything it tends to feel better fairly quickly. In the past I'd train through it and we all know that's a mistake. I'd be out of commission for longer periods but here's hoping I've finally learned my lesson. So where I'd normally do a run on Mondays as well as swim, today I passed.
