Oh man it has been a while. I don't know how I had the time to work, train, eat, sleep and log into the computer before. I don't feel like anything is taking up more time than before, but I am never online.
So I the past 2 weeks I raced my first race of the season. The St. Croix 70.3.
The Good: St. Croix is a great island, my homestay was fantastic and I would love to go back for the race or any excuse I can think of....and I don't really like the Caribbean.
The Bad: The race was the "worst conditions in 23 years" according to the race director. Reports of 98 degree weather have been confirmed.
The Ugly: The run took me 2:05. Considering I ran a 1:13 a few weeks ago I can say that is sub-par performance.
After the race I came back really looking to improve my swim. I called Bill Ball my old swim coach in HS and at UConn to see if I can jump in with the club swim team he is affiliated with. We shall see....
I am going to do more cycling specific events. Road races, and group rides I will add to my schedule of bike training, in addition to the Thursday TT efforts
And I offically have Viral Pharyngitis and an Upper Respiratory Infection Awesome. At least it is not Pneumonia.
About Me
- dominator
- Roxbury, CT, United States
- I am going on my 10th year as a "pro" triathlete. I am not your typical "type A" triathlete. I like to sleep more than I like to train. I am passionate about doughnuts and coffee. I put my family before training. I'm at the point in my career where I only race to have fun and see friends. My training will follow the same philosophy.
