Cross Country Healthified Foods. This Week So Far…. December 25, 2011. Just quickly checking in with a quick update on how my Christmas Eve. I started my day with an early workout. Which consisted of 50mins Moderate/Hard intensity followed by 50mins Easy on the bike. Then I did the usual stretching and replenished with a protein shake and some chocolate milk. For the rest of the day I helped my parents out tidying up and wrapping gifts for extended family. Yay for variety and healthy food. Honestly I don...

With only a handful of days left to do Christmas shopping and I haven’t quite finished just yet. I spent ages trying to find a parking spot this morning at the shopping mall. I ended up leaving and going somewhere else to buy groceries then I came back about an hour later to see if I could find a spot. But no luck, so I headed home. Snack: Strawberries...

SwiCycloRun....tales of an age group triathlete: Why, Hello There!
http://www.swicyclorun.com/2012/11/why-hello-there.html
Sunday, November 11, 2012. Why, Hello There! I took a break from blogging. Something in my life had to give in September, and it was training. And since I wasn't training, I wasn't blogging. Training = blogging content. And I did just that. I didn't go to the pool for 6 weeks. I didn't touch my bike for 6 weeks. I was running maybe once a week? I didn't lift a heavy thing other than a box of cereal. How did all of this come to a head? Well, let me tell you! Glad I did it! And unfortunately another thing ...

SwiCycloRun....tales of an age group triathlete: Inefficient
http://www.swicyclorun.com/2012/11/inefficient.html
Wednesday, November 14, 2012. Talk about starting all over again! Well, not really, but it is taking a LOT more effort to reach speeds or distances that used to be easy. Let's break it down:. On August 19th (IMMT) I swam the 2.4 mile swim (4224 yards) in 1:05:08 for a 1:32/100 yard pace. I peaked for the season with the swim FOR that swim. Mission accomplished! Basically I have zero endurance in the pool. Good news though! I flip turned the entire thing, which takes a lot more effort than open turns.

SwiCycloRun....tales of an age group triathlete: Island Beach Two Mile Swim Race Report
http://www.swicyclorun.com/2012/09/island-beach-two-mile-swim-race-report.html
Friday, September 14, 2012. Island Beach Two Mile Swim Race Report. This is a throwback race report. I did this race back on August 4th). I did this race in 2009, as a confidence boost for doing my first 70.3, Timberman. I did that race with a wetsuit and in 1:08:xx. This year I did it sans. Yes, I had a slight FREAK OUT about my swimming ability when I saw my time. I mean, I had a 2.4 mile swim to do in two weeks! Every time I approached a buoy, it felt like I had to make a 90 degree turn to steer towar...

SwiCycloRun....tales of an age group triathlete: My Leg Strengthening Routine
http://www.swicyclorun.com/2012/09/my-leg-strengthening-routine.html
Monday, September 10, 2012. My Leg Strengthening Routine. Since my last post. I have gotten a few requests for "what is your leg strength routine? So instead of emailing out to individuals, I might as well just write up the entire workout. Do 10 mins of your choice of walking, running, bike, eliptical. Just easy and just enough to get the blood flowing in your legs. Quick calf, hamstring, quad, and glute stretches. 30 seconds each muscle group, each side. 1 time each. Leg raises on physio ball. Do 3 x 10.

Thursday, September 27, 2012. The last two weeks I have been running. Compared to the thick of Ironman training, I haven't been running as much volume, just more frequency. Last week I ran 5 times in a row. 45 mins each time, except for one 75 min run. Every run was slow, 9 min pace, except for one speed workout, where I *gasp*. Broke a 7 min/mile pace for 30 seconds about 12 times. WOAH! For the tempo part. On pancake flat ground, in drizzling rain. 5 bpm more for 1:20/min faster. But really, I am NOT.

Thursday, July 26, 2012. I am starting to hit my breaking point with training and work. My current lifestyle is unsustainable long term. Basically my job, which pays the bills, AND! Pays for my triathlon lifestyle, comes first. Without it, I would ditch triathlon in a heartbeat and just be a runner and do only local races. Priorities people! Fortunately (but also unfortunately) I have been working a shit-ton of overtime! Here is a sample of a Tuesday:. Wake up @ 6 AM, run from 6:30-7:30AM. I was thinking...
