So it’s been like three months since I wrote on this thing but I have finally been inspired to write something, thanks to my friend Chad’s tri blog. I look at his blog and he inspires me so much, I mean look at this: http://www.chadholderbaum.com/, he is such a dedicated, phenominal athlete and a fantastic person to look to for inspiration. Even though I’ve probably done over a hundred tris, ranging from a sprint to an IM distance race, I find I don’t have the discipline to be as good as I can be. When comparing myself to other tri geeks, I find that they put so much more effort into this sport than I do; and what’s worse is I live in one of the best training venues in the country, Denver! So I’m thinkin’ its about time I stop slacking. I love this sport and I’m tired of being mediochre.

I currently only have one triathlon on my schedule this year and that is IM Wisconsin, although the Pittsburgh marathon and few running races are spattered throughout my schedule as well. Apparently getting married takes all my money away and I don’t have the funds to do all the tris I want. Although, perhaps this no funds is a good thing (only with respect to tris of course), maybe I can take this year as a good training year and really build my base. Now let’s see if I can stick with it.

On a different note, Ironman training started this week for Ryan and I and so far so good. Monday was an hour bike (felt great!), Tuesday was a bike and run, which amazingly I did both and felt good , and today is a 1800 meter swim. I am anxious to see how I fare in the water considering I haven’t been in the pool since the Great Floridian in October. Here’s hoping I don’t drown.
