I am really starting to get back into the swing of things, but it is taking a lot more mental effort than I was expecting. Everything in me would rather sit around being lazy than getting out on the trainer, but I must push through the mental piece. The stress of 2013 is finally coming to a close, but it isn’t giving up without a fight is the biggest problem….
Taking 6 weeks off from swimming is a BAD idea! I felt clumsy and slow today during my baseline tests. I knew I would so I think that is why I kept procrastinating about getting back to my swim. Next week I will head back to masters for a real rump kicking. This was an easy baseline recording, the workouts will come fast and furious from here on out. WU:…
I must be sleeping hard which is a nice change if pace. Unfortunately it has sidelined me for two days as I cannot turn my neck. Can’t wait to see Dr Jay next week, this is killing me.
I love the holidays and being with family, but my waistline is glad it’s over. The 2013 season has been an awesome on and now we look to get full swing into training for the 2014 season. Today we are repeating our run tests to get baselines built for the next 14 weeks before Galveston.
Every Christmas Eve we sit as a family with the 24 hour Christmas Story marathon and read ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. What makes it special is it’s one thing big boy can’t wait for each year. The part he is most excited about is the fingerprint. I thought it would be cool for him to see how he’d grown each Christmas. The first 2 years there is a full…
As I get back into the full swing of things after an extended recovery after IMAZ I am finding out it hurt more than I thought taking 4 weeks off. Today was my first time back on the TT bike on the CycleOPs and it is more difficult to get my head to spin the pedals than my legs I found. I know I have an awesome 2014 coming with…

December 16, 2013 Hi Kris, Congratulations! After a long review process of the many applicants, Zoot Sports is happy to notify you that you are being offered a position as a Team Member on the 2014…
Why, isn’t that the question that a triathlete gets the most? I hear it at least once per week it seems, and when I say I’m not only a triathlete but an Ironman the whys get much louder. When the people you are talking to get the details out of you about the disciplines, distances and training regimen their jaws are usually on the ground. It is one of my…
Well, it’s been 4 weeks since I raced IronMan Arizona and I’ve been useless. I have tried to maintain some physical activities, but with family, holidays and recovery it’s mostly been sit around and eat. That’s not completely a bad thing my coach said, but after 4 weeks I feel bloated and out of breath even on light exercise. So with all the laziness it is time to begin working…
