Ironman Louisville (IM KY) 2007 – PR!!
Ten months ago I signed up both Mike and myself for Ironman Louisville (aka IMKY). Starting soon after I began my training with Mike’s guidance – getting in more, and more quality, training than ever before. A week ago it was time, and we travelled out to Kentucky for the big day. Vineman 70.3 had…

packing tonight
Having the job of packing tonight makes IMKY seem really really real. I’ve gotten a number of wishes for good luck both for me and Mike — thanks all 🙂 For those of you who want to track us, I’m #604, he’s #527. Some thoughts going into this race, about what I’ve done differently than…

the dreams have started
And I don’t mean the thoughts and plans and goals kind of dreams. I mean the kind that have me get in super workouts while I sleep, letting me wake up feeling I should be done with exercise for the day. This time it was the same race I’ve dreamed about before. Along a canal…

Vineman 70.3 half Ironman race report — LOOONG
Wow. Where to start… This race report is going to be long. And tough. Kinda like the day. There was the good, the bad, and the ugly. Guess I’ll just keep it how the day played out, but we’ll start a bit before Sunday. Since this was a ‘B’ race (secondary focus for the year)…

I needed a hott date, and I got one. Rode up to Santa Barbara with Mike. Sure, we missed one turn, and it added about 8.5 miles. But it was a great day, and ended with yummy food in Santa Barbara, a train ride home, and then… yes, more yummy food. Mmm tuna melt! Totals:…

wow…
Have I really not updated since May??? That’s kinda crazy. But then again, life has been, too. Still training and in big weeks right now. And work had its biggest week of the year (ok one of them). So what is new… I’m having some tendinitis issues in my left foot. Icing and ultrasounding and…

what training is really about ;)
It’s all about TITS Time In The Saddle If I could find a shirt like that I’d so buy it. Dunno if for me or Mike or both though 😉 Even better would be a bike jersey!

starting a well-earned rest week
It’s finally here… recovery week! And just in time! My legs feel well-worked, and I’m getting to that overly-tired-when-the-alarm beeps feeling. And I had 3 great weeks, being right on with my 16 mile run each week, a nice long bike each weekend, and quality and consistency during the week! Well this weekend was my…
