Strength
  • 30m

early day at the office. Stil trying to catch on with some of the work accumualted while on vacation but mainly rushing to complete fiscal year end operations. (yeah fun stuff ;))

Anyway, this past few weeks of rest felt awesome and mentally I feel recharged and eager to train. I am still taking this week easy. Since my leg injury arises when it feels like it and not whether I am training or not I decided to try some different things to see if I can control it at least. I'll work on some strengthning exercises with the elastic band (the one the PT gave me earlier in the year) but most important on massaging/stretching my ankle/calf as it seems this helps some.

Run
  • 15m 49s
  • 2.00 miles
  • 07m 55s /Mi

easy run

after a weekend of extra laziness and a tiramisu cake it was time to start doing something :) I did a short easy run and it fetl nice. Next week will remain ooff season with unstructured training and then marathon focus as of Oct 13.

October 3

I miss tri training, well I actually miss running and I've been controlling myself to go for a run this past few days. I decided to take 2 full weeks off to give my leg plebty of time to rest. I know the stupid weird injury has little to do with rest or how much I train but I figured it wouldn't hurt. I think as of Monday I'll start doing some unstructured running for a couples of weeks and then start Marathon training hope the leg thing gets under control and hope to build up my fitness base for next season. I can still go without swim/bike for a few more weeks :) Oh and the doing nothing and taking naps after works is been awesome!

  • Robyn Hawkinson (TriOK) finished her Tri season at the Cancun 70.3 and under brutal conditions with wind, heat and humidity she completed it on 6:47 hrs - awesome job considering the heat was insane
  • Lisa Taylor (Trixie) posted a great showing at the ITU Duathlon Wolrd Championship finishing the race on 2:24 hrs and a personal best! - way to represent Trix
  • Coach Jorge also finished the season at the Cancun 70.3 and it went in the same way the whole season played out: tough and disappointing! I only mamaged to finish 11 AG (45 OA) with a 4:50 hrs time. But sometimes things don't go our way and we can only regroup, focus and get ready for next year :)

Congratuations to all the PBMC athletes, you all did great!
