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!"

Just when I was swimming well .....

..... I got kicked out of the pool. No, not that way. I didn't get kicked out, I was told I had to get out of the pool because my time was up. Damn. Here I thought I had up to 3 hours for lane swim, not that I was going to swim for 3 hours, but it turned out I only had an hour. I was swimming pretty well and was at 2350 m and I was going to finish at 3000 m, way beyond what I've swam in the past, but as I hit the wall at 2350 m I heard "Sir, you have to get out". Huh? Why? What did I do? Apparently lane swim had ended and senior swim had begun. Well I guess I should be happy they kicked me out. It would have sucked if they'd let me continue to swim thinking I was a senior.
