About Me

After four years of long-distance running (5k, 10k, half-marathons) I got a little burnt out and decided to try my hand at triathlons. This blog is a journey into my training regime, as well as the play-by-play experiences I have had while competing in these amazingly fun events!

I'm Back!

Sitting here relaxing on the couch after a great 6-mile training trail run this morning. I'm trying to get more active/involved in training sessions and other social events with the Louisville Lansharks - a local triathlon training club that I joined last year, but didn't really do much with. There were about 10 of us out there this morning, and it took a little while to get warmed up and in the swing of things, but after it was all said and done I felt great (as usual) and keep meeting more and more new people each time I go out.

I also started doing some weights/strength training. First day was Thursday (just 3 days ago), but have done two sets so far and am planning on borrowing P90X from a co-worker and plan on starting that this week. Here's hoping I can maintain over the next 3 months, and will hopefully see results both with my body as far as physical appearance, and with my strength, endurance, and cardio for runs/tris.

I've also signed up for back to back races this spring. I'm going to be doing the Derby half marathon on the last Saturday in April, and the Cincinnati Flying Pig the next day. The Derby race changed their course this year and it's mostly flat, so I figured - why not??? More bling, and more races to add to this years already insane schedule!
