Apr 28-May 13: Cycling, Running, & Listening

A comment asking if I'm doing the Buster Briton Tri complete with a compliment about good training prompted me to update this blog with my latest data. I find myself so swamped with work so frequently. Other things in life just take a back seat. I am not sure how we let this happen to ourselves, but I am confident I am not alone. So much for the Marxian mantra "8 hours of work, 8 hours of play, and 8 hours of rest". Work a lot, sleep little, and hope it doesn't kill ya. Welcome to the 21st Century. Enough whining, here's the data. I have to hurry, I got work to do.

This Web site has some great tips and good beginner programs. My husband and I are using various programs from this site--me the half Ironman--Ironman for him.

This one is tailored to someone who already has the running and biking down:

Here are some other sites we like:

Tri's are definitely a different kind of adrenaline rush than running--and a different kind of crowd (although still fun, accepting, and intense like the running crowd). It's a little more chaos and there's always a chance something will go wrong--mechanical, etc. But they are fun :o).

Something else to keep in mind is that most tri's offer a relay option. I'll be relaying (the swim portion) with some friends at Buster Britton this year just for fun.

Keep on keepin' on,
