I feel bad that I haven't posted in over a month. I really need to refocus right now. I have some goals that need accomplishing so I can realize my ultimate goal of a triathlon next year. This summer I really wanted to compete in a half marathon and possibly a bike race as well.
My riding portion of training has gone really well lately. I have done a couple of double rides in the morning, and have felt great. I started in the pool a couple of weeks ago. I really thought I was going to get in the pool and just go. Well as with everything else in this training regimen, I was dead wrong. One kilometer in the pool is a whole lot further than I bargained for. At three quarters of the way I felt as though I might just drown. I have since gotten better but still need to go further and train harder in the pool. At least they have a whirlpool and sauna for me to relax in afterwards. Kind of like a small reward for a hard job done. I also find all my muscles hurt after a swim versus just my legs and back with the run and ride portion.
And as for the running. I am not getting much better in this category. Running in the winter really sucks. Especially lately in the very cold weather. I will blame all the lacklustre performances of late to partying a little too much at christmas. Even when New years is done we go on vacation and it's like the season of imbibing just goes on for another 2 weeks. WEll thats done now and it is the perfect time to refocus and get down to business.
See you out there....
