Training Update

Last Saturday a group of us met at 5:00am for a 1:45 hour run. The pace was easy but the weather was sour. It was cold with a steady wind. We got in about 10.5 miles and then went to the Masters Swim at 7:00. The Swim was a challenging 4000 meters with tons of intervals. Training in the winter in Chicago is tough! I am looking forward to Memphis in May. Sunday Morning it snowed 5" and the Bike Training was moved indoors. Hopefully the weather will turn soon as I am ready to ride outdoors. Many of my Tri buddies have had the chance to travel to more favorable climats lately. Several had the chance to travel to Tucson for a long weekend with great weather and plenty of outdoor training. Another friend is in Southern Cal this week for Super Seal. You can check out his blog at www.trainingbible.com. Look for Adam's blog. Yet others are in Florida this week for warm weather training and relaxation. My coach is Carla Hastert, you can read more about her at www.trainingbible.com. Look under Find a Coach. She is doing a great job keeping me focused on Ironman and building a strong base for endurance and stamina. I would recommend her to anyone. Check back for more training updates.
