Bike
  • 1h 48m 12s
  • 30.12 miles
  • 16.73 Mi/hr

This was a real early morning ride, and it was cold. The termomether read 37'F at the house, and away from the wind. Winds were between 35 to 50 mph so you know what that makes that wind chill factor to be. COLD!! There was 4 of us on this ride, and rode outside. Mostly all headwind, and just a sort of tail wind on one section of the ride. Wind was side way/frontward. Very challenging, very coooollld! but we did it, and finished it. You should try it.

Run
  • 48m 13s
  • 4.64 miles
  • 10m 24s /Mi

Great run and was done in the outdoors of the Cold Vegas weather. Temp was around 42'F and windy. Was able to perform it without any hydration for as cold as the weather was. Distance was roughed out as I maped it on google earth when I got back to the house. Just walked on the way out of the neiborhood with the wife, then she sent me on my way to do a good solid run as this was her first one in a long time. Felt good, and happy about it. I did not walk a single session later on my run course and was happy. Woohoo! That is one happy run for me.

Hope you all had a good weekend, since I know I did. Cheers, and you all have a great week.

HAPPY NEW YEAR Tri Kids!!

Good morning! Felling pretty good with yesterday's training and this morning. I think we are on a good track for this season so far. Just need to stay focus and get the cash for all my races that I want to do this year.

Keep it up all, this is the last day for 2008, and very much looking forward to a new season for 2009. Happy training folks, and keep up the awesome jobs. I can't wait to see how well some of you will all be doing this next season. Cheers!

I was going to do a bike session tonight, but ended going back to the pool to coach the wife with her swim session, then we headed to dinner and had some awsome Sushi that I just love, and relaxing with wife and dogs at the house for New Years Night.

You all have a Happy New Year!!

Felt OK, not the best, but then havn't been running for a long time. Just staying focus to stay on track with this weeks training. Just time to rehab and get body back in the groove after a month off.
It appears that I can't find my polar HR watch, and just can't remember what I may of done with it. Right now, just training with perceived exaustion for all training sessions. Will have to figure somethin soon before the season gets too far into it.

Good morning all!!

Today is a recovery day for me, and well looked for. My body feels a little sore, but mostly exausted from the training, so will recover today with some healthy food, and then resume training tomorow morning. I have cut my swimming to just 3 days a week for the next 6 month instead of 4-5 days a week. Will examine how that affects me in CA on April 4th, and re-assess my training. Just going with something completely different this time, and see how this first quarter will go. As they say, its all about learning and figuring ourselves as we grow in the sport.

Happy training all, and have a great day and a wonderfull week.
