Any loss of life is tragic, but 9 years old, wow.  My sympathies to you and his family, I couldn't imagine dealing with that.

It's going to be tough to fit something in tonight.  I'm tied up at work and won't be able to go to the gym here today.  I have to wait till I get home.  Most important for me to do tonight is a run.  After that's done, if I have time, I can do an easy ride on the bike or make up the swim from yesterday.

Getting started with breakfast, coffee, then a Computrainer workout, hard.  Sad to say my legs are toast.  I ran 10,.5 miles yesterday at a great pace for me, spun out light for an hour to rest the legs and then swam open water last night to test the wet suit.  All good.

I did the 12.5-mile time trial at about 22.6 mph unofficial Tuesday.  Near PR.  I swam 45 mins continuous before it.  Legs were tired so I could a been a contender.

I did kettlebells for am hour after running on Monday.  I did 100 snatches in 5 mins.  The trainer was really psyched.  I did 70 straight, set it down to wipe my hands and then did 30 more.  The rest of the hour was glorious work on cleans, presses, swings, rows, pushups, pullups and other assorted k bell work.  Loved it.  Really liking feeling strong and lean.

This week has convinced me to add Racine 70.3 in July.  Changing it out for an Oly that same weekend.

 

robingray_260 - 2012-05-24 11:52 AM I am planning on a moderate 1 1/2 outdoor ride today and then off on a long weekend getaway.  Hoping to get one more run in on Saturday (will be first time over 30 minutes since October!).  This week is definately a down week for me.

Hope everyone has a safe and fantubulous Memorial Day weekend!

Are you just about done for the year Nole?

Well, today is the day!! Sneaking in an early short trainer ride before heading to the hospital.  I have to be there at 6:15 so not a lot of time on the bike.  They said I should be done and out of there by noonish.

I didn't see anyone racing this weekend, but let us now if you are! 

Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Soooooo busy training!  Trying to put in some big weeks in the next 3.  I'm going on vacation after that for week, so limited training.  Then it will be 3 more big weeks and a week taper for HIM.  That's the plan anyway.  Not sure about tonight yet.  My friends son was on a cub scout camping trip over the weekend and fell down a ravine. Unfortunately, Aiden hit his head on a rock during the fall and passed away.  Nine years old!   Wake is tonight.

This reminded me, the day of my cancer surgery I got up and rode 17 miles so I'd have 3500 for the year to date in June 2006.   We're nuts.   The last surgery I had was to take out that tumor from my colon.  In on Thursday.  Out by Saturday to the amazement of my doc.  Back on the trainer by Tuesday.  It's good to amaze the doctors.   

Love ya Ken.  All good things to you. 

kenj - 2012-05-25 2:36 PM Thanks Ice! And all of the group too!We triathletes are a strange bunch, working out before surgery to hit goals!Home and trying to get comfortable. I'll post more when I am more coherent.
