Computrainer part II

I won a Computrainer on Ebay. It's not exactly new, but it works just fine. Did my first workout on it yesterday and it definately helps make the time go by faster. I wish I had one earlier in the winter, but with my work hours I will be riding inside for a while anyway.

Diaper rash

That's what I call it. I chafed bad on my run this morning. I felt it coming on but kept going anyway. I ran 13 - felt it starting at mile five. Needless to say it is the worst case of chafing for me since Lake Placid.

What's the cure?

I hope I can sit on a bike seat tomorrow.

Computrainer

Rode a Computrainer for the first time a couple of days ago. It definately made the time go by faster - had things to visualize (did the AZ course), targets to try for, etc. Unfortunately, it is not my computrainer and it will be an infrequent event. Looking for a used one if you know anyone.....................

LSD

Ran 14.15 miles today. 25 miles for the week. I'm at the point where a seven or eight mile run feels like nothing - but 14 definately felt like a long run. Ran with Buzz (85 lb yellow lab). He barely made it - he was good for 12.5 then started trailing behind me. Missed all my swims this week (unless I get one in tomorrow). All riding being done inside - What a drag!

Trying something different

Just a quick post. I noticed no one is posting save Dan and Mary Stella. I won't be posting much as I am super busy at work which is a good thing. I am trying something different this year - call it the ultimate experiment. Last year I was 100% Crossfit endurance going into my ironman. This year I will be 100% LSD going into the iroman. The concept here is to train the body to be more efficient - basically by turning off the anerobic system.

So, I will be one of those athletes saying "I ran 35 miles, biked 200 and swam four miles this week."

Checking in

What have I been doing lately? Just riding, running and swimming, what else. I'm actually taking a little break from my trainer session to load more songs on my ipod. I'm a novice at that - I thought I loaded a bunch of songs but there was only four on there. They are good songs but after three rounds I decided I needed more - its hard enough to keep your sanity on the trainer.

The synch is done so down I go.

I'm In!!

I just signed up for Ironman Arizona. I am so excited (I must be nuts)!!
