Yearly Totals for 2010
With a new year on the horizon I am looking forward to some incredible races. For one last day though I am looking back at the past year and going over my successes and failures, my ups and downs and everything I have learned along the way. I am hopeful about my future success and I really look forward to getting a chance to test the results of all the hard work I have put in. The greatest boost comes from totaling all the laps, miles and hours from the past year and seeing it in total...so here it is.

Sudo-rest week this week and back to it on saturday. Ended up with the longest ride of my life with the harbor group.

Felt like I was getting into a good rhythm this week but even with the relatively low volume goal I still was getting worn out. Ended up waking up sunday with a cold. Second one in a month which is not a good sign.I had to skip my long run sunday which I am bummed about because working up the running this winter is my primary goal and I got in less than two weeks of regular training without even one stretch run yet.

Things felt ok this week with the return of a few big sessions but that is a really positive thing as I have a long way to go with base training and getting this week in makes me feel like I will be able to adapt up to where I want to be at just fine. Long ride saturday and long run sunday...I really like those sessions the best.

9/20 - 9/26/2010
Even though I just got back to training I really wanted to do the SCTri because that is where it all started and so many people I know are involved with it. It is such a fun and friendly community event and it was ok with me that I was not going to do as well as last year. Catching up with old friends, racing on my home turf, supporting a good community event and seeing friends challenging themselves and excelling was so good for me.
I am fairly sure that I ate too much for dinner the night before and that I need to do more abdominal work because I got some decent cramps that really plagued the run. I definitely charged the hills much too hard on the bike. I need to find a better pair of racing flats and goggles as what i have been going with until now are not great.
It was a good result considering and an awesome event to be a part of.

This was the first week in a while now that it feels like I really put mu nose down and got back to reagularish training. Lots of soreness and energy swings and hunger oddities but by the end of the week I felt like I was getting back into the swing of things. I am working a lot more so my feet are exhausted but I am hopeful that I will be able to handle it. My heart and lungs feel like they are still intact but I lost some of my strength and durability.

Time Off
After confirming today that I do not have to produce a re-qualification this calendar year I have decided to take my end of the year break now as my energy is all off and my knee is having some problems. I will start up training and updates again in a few weeks.

After back to back races last weekend my feet were all torn up and I was exhausted so the first few days this week were a loss. Friday my knee started hurting in a funny way and though I am anxious to train as usual I am torn. I have to produce one more good result this year to be eligible for my license next season. I would like to get that done soon. I can't run much and in a couple of weeks I will be out of condition. I am hoping that with rest my leg will feel better soon.

Fairly tired all week and calves are still sore seven days out. I imagine that if I had not screwed the race day hydration up and done some cool down work after the race I might have felt fully recovered by now. Though I feel ready to put in some good workout this week.

7/12 - 7/18/2010
Swim 12,700 yds
Bike 12 hours
Run 24 mi
This week I was resting for Vineman 70.3 on sunday and felt tired and awkward all week. Put in a few digs on the bike early week and kept the running easy with a little tempo.
Went out strong in the swim and maybe wasted some unnecessary energy getting through that portion. Settled into good rhythm on the bike with some soreness early on in TT (need to get down on the bars more often) worked the flats with high tempo and easy speed and spun up all the hills. Felt strong going out onto the run and the first 6-7 miles were steady and strong and then the heat and effort started to catch up with me. The last 2-3 miles were horrendous and I was just struggling to get to the finish. I need more running miles and heat training.
Consumed like 7-9 bottles of water, electrolyte, and recovery drink in the hour or two after the race. I need to find a better way to ingest fluid and nutrient on the run to help stay strong as I felt like my aerobic engine was still going strong but the fuel and fluid was not there.
Great result especially knowing I could have gone much better. Qualified for my elite license...the first of many goals.

This was the last of the hard training sessions before I begin taper for VINEMAN 70.3 I am exhausted and recover was beginning to disappear entirely at the end of this last week. I am excited to get some long rest and take a real shot at testing the results of all the work I have done so far this year. I am trying to keep a positive sate of mind in anticipation of the race and take as good of care of my body as I can.

Rest felt awkward as usual and got a little sinus/cold issue on the very last night of the rest week so the start of the next training week will be delayed. Feeling a lot better about my fitness and progression after a good result at MHST that came mostly from relaxation. Did some fun riding this week...nice to get back to that. I think that once I am done training like a crazy person I am going to enjoy bike touring and fun slow easy events like that.

Xterra is fun but though and my mountain bike is apparently not exactly a race bike. The constant acceleration was tough and not very well suited to my abilities but definitely a fun event once I got through the frustrations.
Really hoping all this work pays off...

Some moments of real strength this week but went to failure and outright bonk in the later stages of many workouts.
T1 went poorly again...I am unwilling to sacrifice early pace and am having trouble hanging on later in the run. Had to stop, recover and continue on with a build. Should set new goals for T1 intensity.
Run form also suffering; because of tiredness? Dunno...hoping this will all pay off.

Sick in bed monday and tuesday left me at almost 10 days rest going into wednesday so I was feeling a strange blend of powerful spurts of energy and dragging congestion from the cold. Happy to have gotten some very strong workouts late in the week to make up for the days off. Very good runs saturday and sunday.
The best thing about getting faster is that the same distance takes less time.

Still on the fence about Xterra with a frustrating MTB session on thursday and with the bike being in such poor shape.

Block 1 - Week 2

Swim 20,500 yds

The rain and fighting off some kind of something threw off my energy and schedule this week. It will rain all the next week and I have spent most of the last week worrying about how I am going to accomplish putting together any kind of regular training regimen in non-trainable conditions.

Block 1 - Week 1
Swim 14,750 yds
Bike 14 1/4 hrs
Run 32.5 mi
First week back on point and things felt pretty good. Several good indications of early season fitness and base is holding up well.
Right knee tenderness over the patella not bad enough to skip and workloads...some icing only helped marginally. Tip of left indicator toe also somewhat sore to pressure after long run on sunday.
1/4 - 1/10/2010
Even with a couple of what felt like tough workouts this week energy level is still not bad at all on sunday afternoon.
