Seems I'm on the mend after fighting off a little dose of mini-SARS earlier this month. We're seeing plenty of snow and ice here in Central NY, but guess what?

With spring around the corner (somewhere), I've actually managed to improve my cardio base this winter, and unlike last year when I started off the tri season with an over-training injury, I'm actually pretty healthy where the muscles, joints, and bones are concerned.

It was foolish of me to enter the CA 70.3 with so little idea of how indoor training would pan out, and perhaps I'll come to regret that decision (somewhere on the back half of the bike course maybe, or the hill between 7 and 8 on the run), but I feel pretty good with a month to go.

Who else is having a great winter season and wants to chime in?

Can I hear a woot, woot?

Ditto here. I'm on week #4 of my HIM plan. Still too much snow here and crazy cold snaps but my training is moving along nicely too. I'm actually learning to love the trainer! Never ever thought that I'd say that.

Um, I'd give you a woot! woot!, but it may not be fair from the sunny (well, raining today) shores of california, as you may well remember

I am very glad to hear that this year is starting better than last.  Someone needs to go and kick that Cali 70.3 Mile 8's a$$.  Might as well be you

Mos def. Never felt right again after summiting that hill on loop two last year. Lots of walking thereafter. Hoping to marshal my energy better this time around.
