Subject: 24 Weeks until my second Tri
So I registered for the Timberman Sprint Tri in New Hampshire and it is roughly 24 weeks and a few days away. I have been riding on the indoor trainer as we just got about a foot of snow here in CT, and more possible this weekend.

Anyway last year when I did this race I was over 300 pounds and finished in just under 3 hours. This year I am hoping to finished under closer to 2 hours, and be around 230-240 pounds.

I bought the Be Iron Fit book and I am following the beginner plan with some modifications to suit my needs. I am pretty excited just from registering but it will be a long 24 weeks to get there.

Is any one else headed to NH for Timberman?

24 weeks is a long time!   I can never wait, so I like to schedule things frequently along the way to the "big race."  With that amount of prep you'll be in great shape for the race.

Happy training!

I'm doing the 22 week sprint tri program and the 2 mile bike ride it starts with is not very challenging. I see this as a opportunity to train the right way and challenge myself. Any ideas?

I couldn't believe that my splits kept getting lower! I started to run harder after I passed the "5 km" sign and picked a few people that I wanted to pass.

Metatarsalgia simply means “painful metatarsal” without defining the cause of the pain. Metatarsalgia most commonly causes pain at the second metatarsal head.

We did really well with the beers, which will explain my reluctance to get out of bed on Saturday morning.
