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!"

Not much of a day

My shoulder is still bothering me so I just wanted to get into the water today and do a shortened distance. I only got in 800 m before stopping as my shoulder began getting a little sore. I tried to work mostly on technique concentrating on head position to try to get and keep level as well as my arm position through the pull to maximize output. Who knows, sometimes a little can be a lot. Here's hoping. Later in the afternoon I attempted a run but just about 750 m into it the rain started and by the looks of the assembling clouds I wasn't about to push my luck. It looked like a wicked thunderstorm was brewing so I did a u-turn and high tailed it back home. Not much of a day today.
