We actually handed up a full 12 pack of beers later in the day during the 35-39 and 30-34 masters races. The ladies next to us were from the Univ of Iowa and were handing out their phone numbers on little sheets of paper. It was AWESOME to see the talent out there. Guys that ran away from the field during our CX season around here were in the back 1/2 of the field on the National stage after the 1st lap. And smooth, the guys at the tip of arrow were powering away from the field while looking they were out for a Sunday morning group ride. those are some cool pics. the guy in the black striped hat in no's 52/53/54/55 needs to man up and stick a beer in his hand. hey daleitis's... is that drew in # 27 on sunday.. lower right? LOL, no at CX races he is usually off riding his bike dodging people, buildings, etc. It's funny how timid he was on the bike at the beginning of the year. Now he is one of those annoying kids that weave in and out of crowds of adults on his bike. |

Thanks for the good vibes, everybody! it's good to put your money down and commit yourself, now you've told all of us you'll have to do it! I'm struggling to get back on the bike, the temp's been about 36c (96f for the rest of you) the last few days and I just don't feel like riding, my trainer's in the garage and it's even hotter in there! I think I'll have to get out before 5am if it stays this way... |

Just mentally and physically gearing up for Day 1 of IMMoo training next week. Eep! Too early to say whether the book has helped me with triathlons but I am almost done with reading CLEAN by Alejandro Junger. That book along with the suggested meal plans from Clean Eating Mag have definitely helped me transition my diet to a much more varied, cleaner, and healthier one. |

(rather be racing) Not really endurance based, but recently I pulled motivtional quotes/stories/videos to get me going and help keep me going. Sometimes just a few words/pictures/video can get that fire restarted or brighten it a bit.

I have been reading Fit Soul Fit Body and am really enjoying it. Here's one quote from one of the nine keys entitled Honor Yourself "let your present actions inspire you, and find fulfillment in them". I love this and thinking about it in terms of different places we are in our SBR it is very fitting. Good luck to anyone racing!Can't believe how fast time flies!!

Not racing. Just getting back into training for the tris. I did a lot of strength training over the fall and now my cardio is way down. I did a cardio kick class last night and by the end of it I was exhausted. I did however get a chance to spend an hour in a room with 96 sweating good looking university girls. I was the only guy in the room. Anyway to answer the question above. The book that had the most impact on me over the past year was : " Born to run. A hidden tribe, Superathletes and the greatest race never run" It helped me change my attitude about running. I used to run just to get to the end of a race. Now I run to enjoy the run. By changing my attitude/philosophy of running I have found more fun and better running times than before. I no longer fear the pain monster and welcome him/her to come on along for a great outing. |
