Today I was down at the San Diego Convention Center justifying more of my "i need this for my bike, i need these for my swim purchases." I almost came home with a new Garmin but I decided on just a new TYR jacket for early morning rides and runs. Training camp is in less than a month and I'm really excited at the thought of being able to get a preview of the course as i'm sure it will determine my mental state for the next several months. the training in the pool is going so much better than it was last time i updated the blog and i'm focusing on my form and breathing more now than i did when i swam on a swim team. i'm sure my old coaches are glad to hear i was so dedicated back in the day! either way the little giant got a full fitting last week and i'm feeling more comfortable and confident both up AND down the hills. i was lucky to get an excel spreadsheet from a fellow IMSGer which mirrors the incline and mileage for the run portion of the course so any treadmill workouts are now following the IRONFIT intermediate plan and adding in Bil's excel course mock up.
Oh yea and while in San Diego i met MACCA. wicked friendly, way approachable, and well not to hard on the eyes either.
Curry - That's awesome. Macca seems like a really cool and VERY confident guy! Jealous that you were able to get a chance to go to that convention and immerse yourself in Tri.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are going to get a chance to train on the course! You've got to see it to see believe it. It's tough, but I think it will be doable. Enjoy the training camp, I wish I could be there.
Tri Hard!
