0 commentsI know it’s been a while since I posted anything. My last post ironically was about a half marathon I ran more in a last minute kind of decision (registered <2 weeks before the race and didn’t really train specifically for it). Now I’m posting about my first marathon experience. I knew this marathon was coming up, but I still didn’t train specifically for it. I trained knowing I would be doing it, but with my long term goals as #1 instead of my performance at the marathon as being #1.

0 commentsI’ve started to get back into training again after some time ‘off’. At this point I feel like I haven’t done enough that week if all I do is 15 miles of running, 50miles of biking and a mile or two of swimming. It’s funny to think that my ‘lazy’ week has become excessive for most people in the world, I never intended that but it just kind of became that way.

0 commentsI waited some time to post about the race. The race was this past Saturday, about 5 days ago. It went incredibly well when you consider everything. Final time was 5 hours 39 minutes. Which is well under what I thought I could do not too long ago. We’re all (other racers) are pretty sure the swim was a short, probably by like 5 minutes or a little more. Perhaps I went out a little too hard on the bike knowing that my run was going to be harsh.

0 commentsIt’s the day before my race, just over 12 hours before I’ll be leaving my house. Nervous? not as much as I probably should be, but I’m sure that will come. It’s been 11 months. Amazing to think I was barely able to swim 400 meters as a workout, 20 miles on the bike would have be considered a full day, and I just started running a few months ago. Now tomorrow I’ll be doing WAY more than that in a row.

0 commentsOn Monday I rode my bike to work, like I do on occasions that I wake up with enough time. For about half the trip I’m on a rec path, but then ultimately end up on the road (120th Ave) that has a nice wide shoulder. On my way home from work though, it didn’t go so well.
