It’s that time… when not only is there an ended month to look at the numbers from, but also an ended year! I’ll start off the good news with my December GPS totals (bike and run only for now, as the swim ones are not in the GPS log). This includes all my biking and…

This is almost becoming just weekly updates. I think with the boy around I’m just spending less “free time” at the computer, and more of it on the bike or in good company. Which is just fine with me. Thursday night was a pretty bad run, and I was just feeling tight and sore and…

I know it has been a bit of a break from tri posts, but I’ve been riding and swimming as much as (maybe more than, with swimming) ever. It’s just been with less of a goal or focus. With an eye on enjoying it, and staying in shape and happy. Mike and I took our…

Again a post where the title probably makes me laugh more than anyone. Oh well… it is numbers, and they will probably be numbing to minds other than mine. In my worries of Vineman, I took a comparative look at the training the 4 months before IMAZ and the training these last 4 months. IMAZ…

I typed the title, and then read it not as “thoughts about tapering” but that my thoughts themselves are tapering off. I figured it works, given how sucky I have been about maintaining my online personality lately. Sorry, I’ll be back more reliably someday. However, it is taper time. And I’m finding it hard to…

I haven’t been blogging, and have only ran about 2 miles this month. I have swam… 3ish times. But I’ve been on the bike! And that is going really really well! I did a test ride of the main loop for Vineman, and it went great… I parked at the school where it ends, rode…

It was a weekend of biking… and heat… and eating and reading. I think that about covers it. As for the bike parts, I got in about 60 – 65 miles on Saturday (I don’t have full stats with me today as the Garmin is at home… oops). And another about 13 on Sunday. Saturday…

It was a great weekend. Not only was Monday off, but after a crazy week at work I had much of Friday off as well. Friday I went for a ride. Planned to be gone about 2 hours. I knew I was going to stop at the LBS (squeaky pedal), but figured I could still…

I just read a post from an IMWI person, talking about how 100 days to go. Umm… wait. 100 til WI?? Uhh… that means Aug 12th is even closer… AAAAHHHH. A bit of panic set in. Injuries and aches please go away I don’t have time for you now. Runs, bikes, and swims are waiting…
