Triathlon Update

Well I finished my first week in the new training regiment and I think I'm going to like this 8 weeks.  I only need to get up early 1 day a week instead of 3.  The workouts are more spaced out, and my performance is definitely improving.  I ran 5 miles on Sunday in 36 minutes(7:12 miles!) 

I have a really light week this week, I'm taking Wed and Saturday off due to travel to and from the NCAA wrestling championships in Omaha, NE.  The Hawkeyes are the favorites to win the tournament, I hope its a good week. 

Had a great weekend that just passed, got in 2 fantasy baseball drafts, and got to hang out with a high school buddy that I hadn't seen in 3 years.  Ate a LOT of really good food, got have some really good beer, and topped it all off Sunday night by smoking cubans on my deck.  

Tonight is my 3rd T15 swim and I'm shooting for 1000yd.  That's a really lofty goal and a more reasonable expectation is 850yd but you have to push yourself.  I've gotten myself registered for the triathlon, mooonlight chase and river run along with Ragbrai so the competition season is picking up quickly. 

The other big news is my new bike!   Shawn is buying a new bike today and I'm buying his bike, so next week when I start riding again, I'll have a 3 crank in the front and some higher quality components.  The next big step will be getting fitted to the new bike.

Well I hope you all have a great week, and GO HAWKS
