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 in the swim of things

Literally and figuratively. I hadn't done any good swims for quite a while and my training consistency has been sporadic at best with my recent travel so today I got back at it. I did a 1500 m swim this morning and even though it seems a short swim it's a start to get back up to weekly 2000 m swim sessions. But after Sunday's run where everything seemed to fall apart on me I was really interested to see how my run today would go. Well thankfully everything looked to be getting back to normal. I ran 9.5 km and good thing number 1 was my pace, 4:50. I was very pleased to get that back down to where its been. Good thing number 2 and actually more important to me was that I recovered very quickly from the run. On Sunday it took quite a while to start feeling normal but today I was fine within a couple of minutes. This was good.
