Will train for wine and chocolate: February 2010
http://willtrainforwineandchocolate.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Will train for wine and chocolate. Monday, February 22, 2010. Um, where did February go? Well, another week is in the bank. As weeks go, it was okay. I still missed some swimming due to questionable sinus issues. Tomorrow I go back for the first time in two weeks. It is a good thing that swimming is probably my strongest of the three disciplines. It will not be fun to make up the losses from missing two weeks, but it won't be too terrible. And yes, it was not in. Play for Canada. I did laugh at. Last wee...

Will train for wine and chocolate: Uvas Tri Race Report
http://willtrainforwineandchocolate.blogspot.com/2010/05/uvas-tri-race-report.html
Will train for wine and chocolate. Sunday, May 16, 2010. Uvas Tri Race Report. Decided the best way to rest on Saturday would be a pedicure with my mom. My reasoning was three fold: 1) I needed new teal toes to cheer on my Sharks, 2) I knew the tech would massage my feet, and since my feet had been bothering me, I figured this woudl be a good thing and 3) Mom had had a tough week and needed to be pampered! I woke up at 4:30am. I slept like crap. Have I mentioned I work night shift? Transition 1: 3:39 min.

Will train for wine and chocolate: Recovery....
http://willtrainforwineandchocolate.blogspot.com/2010/05/recovery.html
Will train for wine and chocolate. Sunday, May 23, 2010. I wrote this blog post about a week ago regarding my lovely sinus surgery, but I never put it up. I have edited it a bit and figured now would be a good time to post something! I have to give a shout out to Marit. For answering a ton of my questions once I got back home from my surgery. She was extremely informative and helpful, and I really appreciated it! She even let me whine a bit =). After I started the percocet, my day was been split into 4 h...

Will train for wine and chocolate: September 2010
http://willtrainforwineandchocolate.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Will train for wine and chocolate. Monday, September 13, 2010. Race Report - TBF Hit 70.3. I did it. I completed my first 70.3. It wasn't pretty, but it got done. Here's my race report. REI had a race outfit I had tried on previously, in my size, and on sale. It wasn't what I would normally choose, but the top was pink and I figured at least my coach would approve of the color scheme! In short, I lucked out. I silently hoped this was the only snafu that I would face during the trip. We drove out to the s...

Will train for wine and chocolate: January 2010
http://willtrainforwineandchocolate.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Will train for wine and chocolate. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Yesterday was my run test. Basically, I had to run fast and hard. This is all fine in theory, however I was really unsure how exactly to do that without 1) going too hard and passing out or 2) not going hard enough and finishing the test thinking I still had more in the tanks (I hate that feeling). I did wear my Ipod. For this test and it really helped me pick up the pace at times. I should thank Metallica. My knee bothered me a bit during th...

Will train for wine and chocolate: Tale of two rides
http://willtrainforwineandchocolate.blogspot.com/2010/07/tale-of-two-rides.html
Will train for wine and chocolate. Monday, July 26, 2010. Tale of two rides. Training has been going well. The new work schedule (32 hours of night shift/week) is making it interesting to get all my workouts in, but I am doing my best. I really like sleep, and sometimes I choose sleep over a workout. I figure my patients would prefer me awake! And only had to worry about falling, instead of falling and/or being hit by a car! Today David and I drove over to Santa Cruz. He's doing a triathlon there in ...

Will train for wine and chocolate: March 2010
http://willtrainforwineandchocolate.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Will train for wine and chocolate. Wednesday, March 24, 2010. This is how I am handling my foray back into training. Very cautiously. After doing pretty much nothing for the past week, I got back in the pool yesterday. Ahh. Molly has bought a TRX. Of course, there is always next time. I am quite sore today. I like being sore in places you forgot you had muscles. It's nice. I am not so sore that I can't function or am reaching for the advil. I am certainly not 100% on the healing front. This week is s...
