IRONDAYS: June 2011

http://tell3131.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Branson or Redman 2011. In order to motivate myself even more, I am signing up for either IM Branson 70.3 or Redman 70.3. They are both in September, which should give me plenty of time to get ready. I did KC Corp Challenge Tri this past weekend and was only about a minute slower overall from last year. Got 2nd place overall out of about 210 guys. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My First Decade of Triathlon, by the Numbers. Swim•bike•run•dish. Ironman Coeur d'Alene - The Race.

IRONDAYS: Taper Time. . .

http://tell3131.blogspot.com/2009/08/taper-time.html

Monday, August 17, 2009. Taper Time. . . I was told to put an update on my blog so some people will have something to do when they get bored, so here are some thoughts. For those that don't know, Taper is a word used by athletes (or people who call themselves athletes, like me) to describe a period of time that you reduce your volume and mileage in order to rest the body for the A race. This time around that race is Ironman Louisville, scheduled to take place on August 30th. August 17, 2009 at 6:33 PM.

IRONDAYS: RACE WEEK!!!!!!

http://tell3131.blogspot.com/2009/08/race-week.html

Monday, August 24, 2009. So it is Race Week! Ironman Louisville is this Sunday and everyone is ready to go! So why do I post a picture of a trail covered in snow in the middle of nowhere? Because this is where it all began. It began last winter with getting up at 5:55AM on a Saturday morning and wanting more than anything to go back to bed, but knowing that getting outside in the 15 degree weather, with snow/ice on the ground and 30 mph winds would only make August 30th that much better.

IRONDAYS: May 2009

Monday, May 18, 2009. 2009 BikeSource (Heritage Park) Triathlon. I made it to work, filled out an application and was entered within a hour of the verbal lashing that was handed out. I didn't announce I was racing to anyone, figured a sneak attack was in order. :). Well, watching the weather on Friday and Saturday, I started to rethink my decision to race. The weather report was calling for 39 degrees Sunday morning. . . Wonderful! The swim is a 587 yard (500 meter) swim. It is basically in a very sm...

Monday, July 13, 2009. EnduranceCorner Summer Boulder Triathlon Camp. This post is not about a race, but it does involve Triathlon. :). For a couple of years now, I have always wanted to go to Colorado and do some training, such as ride in the mountains and put in some quality training time with other triathletes. So. . the chance to go to Gordo Byrn's ( http:/ www.endurancecorner.com/. Camp came up and after getting the ok from Amy to do it and for the whole family to go, I made our reservations. Long s...

IRONDAYS: February 2009

http://tell3131.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 15, 2009. Leaving on a Jet Plane. . . well in an Excursion. Heading out to Colorado tomorrow for some snow and food. I will take the whole week off from training and do nothing but eat. Sounds like a plan! We had a solid group, though not a lot of people showed up. . as you see in the picture, the dark, humid, smelly garage just doesn't seem that appealing to that many people. :) Those who mad it were, Scott, Pepper, Pepper's daughter, Dave Corwin and Coach Greg. Looks fun doesn't it!

IRONDAYS: December 2009

http://tell3131.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 2, 2009. No Excuses . . . I haven't posted since Louisville, maybe because not too much exciting has happened. So instead of going over the past 2-3 months. . here is what has been on my mind over the past 2-3 weeks. Coming up in June and 30 weeks till race day was 2 days ago. I have actually found myself saying . . "what if". What if, I cancelled my registration from IMCDA. What if I just focused on a Half Ironman. What is the real motivation behind me doing all of this? Let's see wh...

Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Bandit and the Groundhog. Saturday I was compelled to ride in the garage on the trainer with coach Troy. He had me do Spinnerval 14.0 Aero Base Builder. . Got in about an hour and half with 25 miles. Good time was had by all. Although, there is one fellow on the DVD that I am not fond of and actually find myself competing against. . .I might have a problem. Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Till summer gets here?
