tri summer II.
hah. funny reading my last post.
i feel OK with where i'm at right now. I did the Schaumburg and Glenview triathlons this summer and just did the Danskin one in Wisconsin today -- my first sprint in open water. Chicago sprint tri is next weekend.
this summer has been mediocre. began strong with a half marathon in May, but i dislocated a bone in my foot which put me out in a boot for a month and a half. and then with boards, vacations and starting my new job as a PA, i got a really late start and never really got my momentum going. so i've just been a weekend warrior triathlete. which is going better than expected for just being a weekend warrior.... but still not where i want to be.
the goal is olympic tri next summer.
also, i'd like to get comfortable and in-shape enough with cycling that i can ride with the oak park cycle club. they cycle at 5:30am which is perfect for me before work.
we'll see how next weekend goes -- my last hoorah this tri season.
ps. i have to say, wetsuit = best invention ever.

Cheers.

post-holidays.
sooo... i ran maybe 2-3 times over the holidays, but nothing worth recording.
i started a new rotation and consequently made a new workout schedule. here's the plan:
Monday -- sprint runs and swim.
Tuesday -- (off?)
Wednesday -- pace run and swim.
Thursday -- (off?)
Friday -- weights, bike, abs, etc.
Saturday -- long run.
Sunday -- long bike ride.
Tuesdays and Thursdays are my worst days at work, so that is why they are off.
My half marathon is May 8th. The plan is to be able to run 3+ miles by the end of this month (without walking). In february I should be able to run 5 miles, March: 8 and April: 10.
This also puts me on schedule for the Bold Eagle Tri in Pensacola that I would like to partake in on April 25th. For that I would need to be able to run at least 6 miles, which shouldn't be a problem by then. I also need to swim 1500 meters and bike 24 miles in that race.
My goal is that by some time in March I will be able to run 8 miles, swim 1200 meters and bike 20 miles. If this happens, I'm going to reward myself by buying cycling shoes and pedals. :)
So let the games begin.
