Race report/ training

I am going to make this a short race report because it really isnt worth talking about.
I raced a sprint triathlon on Saturday. The race went well, I guess. I gave it about 3 %. I just didnt have the motivation that I usually have. Oh well




Believe or not but somehow I won my AG. Yeah I couldnt believe it.


Now to training today.

Started off with swim practice from 6 AM to 730AM. It was pretty good. Coach didnt cut us to much slack today (none).
The I went to work (sucks). After I work I hit then gym for a 60 min spin class which was pretty good. We did lots of tempo intervals.

After that I ran 3 miles with my buddy Kevin. We broke the three miles into three one mile intervals.

1 mile~ 6:45
2 mile~ 6:44
3 mile ~ 6:53

To most this is not that great, but to me, man this is really good. I cant believe I was able to do it. I bet I can run a lot faster for a lot longer. I cant believe that I never even tried this.

What a great day.

Sometimes I wonder

I do this wierd thing where sometimes i just can sleep. It has been three days where I have gotten about 3 or 4 hours of sleep. I just lay in bed and have all kinds of things running through my head.
I think a lot about my next races and my training, but also just a lot about life. How can I make more money while working less (hahaha) or how can I be a better dad, stuff like that.

Today I went on a 9.5 mile run, and I am feeling pretty beat. I hope this will do the trick to get some good rest. Even though I have been training hard this ween it seems my body gets tiered but my mind just does not want to rest.

Got swim practice at 6 AM coming up, I am looking forward to that, then I got to go to work and then hopefully I'll have to for a short and easy bike ride.


Train hard

Run fun into the Sun

Went on a six mile hill run tonight. I left the house at about 7:30 PM, usually I never leave this late but today I did. And it was so nice, its cool and breezy, man I might just turn into a early evening runner.

Actually it really was not that cool still 95 but as long as you dont have to run in the direct sun it really is not that bad.

So I have a super sprint triathlon coming up. It is this Saturday (teamats.com). Its a 300 meter swim 9 mile bike and 2 mile run. The swim is in a pool. I have never done that so i am looking forward to that.

On a different note, Germany advanced into the final of the European Cup today. The final game is on Sunday. I got my money on Germany!!!!

Hills, hills, and some more hills

Yesterday my buddy K Fed and I went on a bike ride with the intention to get a good hill work out.

We rode from Anderson Mill & 183 to Lost Creek Blvd & 360. I knew there where some pretty good hills there but had no idea that they were going to be this gnarly.

There were three pretty good hills at the beginning, they were not very long but pretty steep. After that we got to Barton Creek Blvd.

At the end of this road, right before it meets Bee Caves you got this hill I like to call the "monster", because it does not look that crazy but IT IS. It is a lot longer then it looks and it is a lot steeper then it looks. Once I struggled up it we rode back home.

I had lost track of time and before you know it, it was dark. We managed to get back to the house safely but by the time we pulled into the driveway it was pitch black.

Got to make sure that this does not happen again.
