09 Season

So far training has been going very well. I am starting to get some of my fitness back. I am definatly getting stronger in the pool and on the run. The only thing that I am lacking is biking. Its so damn cold, and I dont have a trainer so I hit the spin classes at the gym, and try to ride at least twice a week outside, but I can tell I have to up this total starting next week or I will not be ready for 70.3 NO.

Pinched a nerve in my back yesterday, so I decided to take of today so it can get better, and it seems to be working. Back in the pool again tomorrow bright and early @ 5:30AM and then hopefully a medium run or a ride. I am planning on riding sat and sunday as well.

Lets hope the weather gets a little better, I hate WINTER.

2009 what what

First day of the new year which is also first day of the new season for me. HELL YEAH. I had a lot of fun during off season but I am definatly ready to start training again. My body has recovered from last season and from all the off season parting is ready to be turned back into a lean mean fighting machine (hahahahahaha).

I got a little head start this week and started to swim in the morings, and it is so goooooooood. Definatly lost some fitness in the pool but I am sure i will have it back in 2 to 3 weeks and then build on top of it. I will be swimming 6 days a week, monday through saturday @ 24 hour fitness lake creek and as soon as it gets warmer I will be at "El Salido Pool" (best and fastest pool ever).

I am super stoked to get back on the bike and pound out the miles. This season I am approaching biking a little different. I have tons of new workouts that should make fast as hell this year. I am really hoping I can better my half ironman (on the bike) time by 15 minutes which would bring me in at 2:30. I definatly think I can do this, 15 sounds like a lot but like I said I can do this and I am going to do it, no doubt in my mind.

I am registered to race New Orleans 70.3 in April. I am planning on doing 3 70.3 events and then as many local ones as I can ( cap tex, rookie, FYF, ........)

I will start posting on the regular again.

Train Hard.
