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!"

My old friend ....

.... but not a good friend. I was planning a long run today but my knee tendinitis flared up and being paranoid about it getting out of hand and messing up my last month of training I decided to skip the run and go for a ride instead. I got together with Chris and we didn't plan a long ride and I also wasn't considering going too hard so as to not aggravate my knee. Funny thing though, easy rides aren't the norm when I go riding with Chris. We started out at a not too hard pace but that ended as we hit Bloomington Rd. The short run across to Markham Rd. and back and then down York Durham was done "balls out" and I don't know about Chris but I got a good burn in my legs. At this point I think I'm going to ice 3-4 times daily and back off running till I see how my knee feels by Wednesday. Hopefully I'll be good to go again by then.
