TriAl v2008: September 2007
http://qcmier.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2007. Stage 12: DNF, DNS, DNT. Let's make this short and sour. Something was not right in my hip and so my Saturday run was cut short. I basically shut it down after five miles, but I still had to stagger another 3 miles to the car. It's Thursday now, and still a little sore. I can't imagine any realistic scenario where I run a sub 3:10 marathon in a little over three weeks. As I see it now I have three options:. Anyone have anymore options? It's gone from SUCK to BLOW! I really d...

http://qcmier.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 24, 2007. Stage 7: A New Hope? First great job to to IM UK folks, like Charlie. Those of you at IM KY or IM Canada, like Mike. So anyway, what did I do last week in terms of my training? Well maybe I am back on track and maybe there is still some hope for me. Wednesday: Run 5 miles - 3 miles of hill intervals. Thursday: Bike 42 miles mostly flat with a good wind. Our group still averaged around 20mph for the entire ride. Friday: 1.5 mile open water swim. Sunday: 30 minute easy trainer ride.

TriAl v2008: Testing

Wednesday, July 02, 2008. Is this thing on? Okay so I'm not dead.yet. Sorry I haven't been around blogland much at all the last, uh, six months. I do still lurk around many peoples blogs to catch up every now and then. But at the end of my day, sitting down here and typing a little ditty just isn't happening. My journey to Ironman Wisconsin in 2006 was a wonderful journey. My life now is completely different from 2006. 06 - xx years old. 08 - xx 2 years old. 06 - full time student. So where do I stand?

http://qcmier.blogspot.com/2008/09/im-week.html
Tuesday, September 02, 2008. So it's here.Ironman Week. As I followed my fellow triathletes at IMKY, I started to wonder what my day at IMWI2008 would be like. My journey to IMWI this time around has been vastly different. And my apologizes to all of you, mostly undocumented on this blog. Well to recap my training for the last year. September 2007: Half hearted training for an October marathon. October 2007: Half hearted effort at the marathon. Novemeber 2007: Work.ugh. December 2007: Work.ugh. When I le...

TriAl v2008: May 2007
http://qcmier.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 15, 2007. I don't think there is any easy way to tell you what I'm about to say. I haven't been spending much time with you recently. I know last year when we entered into our union, we laid out grand plans of racing crits, time trials, and even spending long weekends on rides out into the hills and countryside. I was wrong and I am sorry. I am taking my life back. I'm escaping your Siren spell. In a few more weeks, you're going to be on your own. See you later, bitch. For Immediate Release -.

TriAl v2008: Head
http://qcmier.blogspot.com/2008/01/head.html
Monday, January 14, 2008. What's the best way to start off a new year and a new season of training? How about come back from half way around the world with some serious jetlag. Then you top that off with a migraine that decides to shut your body down for days. Sad thing is: I slept for three days, I didn't eat for three days, and I still didn't lose any weight. Sigh.So my Week 1 turned into Week -2. I am back working with my coach. Hope I remember how to swim. 23 January, 2008 21:32. On My Way Back.

TriAl v2008: Hydrophobic
http://qcmier.blogspot.com/2008/01/hydrophobic.html
Thursday, January 24, 2008. I think I'm afraid of the water. I purchased a pass with twenty five punches to swim at a pretty darn nice facility. I bought the pass in October and I've got two punches. Ugh. I've got to find some way to just jump in. Wait, maybe, I know what the problem is right now:. I have yet to establish a routine and that is a bit unnerving. So I guess that's my new Ironman resolution for now:. I want to be consistent, at least until September. I think I can do that. It's been a while,...
