I Can TRI: August 2009
http://il-galea.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 August 2009. August and Tri 5 - the season draws to a pleasant close. If I were you I'd sit down, relax, get comfortable and get ready for a good read . its gonna be a long one. First and foremost comes the confession/apology . "forgive me blog readers for I have sinned . its been nearly one month since my last blogpost.". With little prep let's just say I wasn't particularly confident going into this race, however there were some positives in all of this. Coming back to my fifth and final rac...

I Can TRI: September 2009
http://il-galea.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, 5 September 2009. Withdrawal Symptoms and Project Halves. I had blogged a while back that my target for 2010 was training for and completing an Olympic Distance triathlon (ideally London). BUT the plan has now changed and I've become a bit more ambitious. I have 2 'A' race plans/ambitions for next year . 1 the Malta Half Marathon (February 28, 2010); and. 2 the Antwerp Half Ironman (August 1, 2010). Training starts on September 13 . the fun and games will start soon! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I Can TRI: May 2009
http://il-galea.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 26 May 2009. Tri-ing to catch a break. Its been a while since I last blogged, and the last you heard I was having a moan about my foot not being in good condition. Well I'm glad to say that cleared up and I was able to train on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That's not to say that the training went particularly well. Friday was a bit of a shock to the system . I got into the pool and wasn't comfortable at all. A 300m warm-up followed by a 750metre 'go' at the race distance. The time? For the first...

I Can TRI: General descriptions and the 5th March Weigh-in
http://il-galea.blogspot.com/2010/03/general-desrciptions-and-5th-march.html
Saturday, 6 March 2010. General descriptions and the 5th March Weigh-in. As you may or may not know, endurance events are not particularly designed for short, heavy-set ppl but rather, usually, tall, rangy, relatively skinny ppl without too much muscle bulk. That may not be the best of ideas! My response to them? Well, that's the way it is, let's see if we can do something to make it more comfortable". 50310 - Weight:90.0kg (198lbs). I have a body fat measurer thingy on my scales which I do not know how ...

I Can TRI: April 2009
http://il-galea.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 30 April 2009. Today is a good day, a productive day, today (training wise) I'm on top of the world. I followed the 30 minutes with a 5 minute run at 10.5km/ph . faster than I usually run over the longer times/distance and hopefully it will be a sign of faster times to come. That was the morning session. For the first time in my training sessions I've actually done all three events in one day. God only knows how sore I'm going to be tomorrow, but whatever the result, its been worth it. So I've ...

I Can TRI: January 2009
http://il-galea.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 21 January 2009. Getting back on the horse (with a bit of a wobble). Bring on the next week and lactic acid stiffness ruled the day on Monday, I was shattered sore and in need of a break (or so I convinced myself). Swimming with a sore back and sore arms isn't the best of ideas. I should be back on the bike tomorrow morning (should being the operative word), but it may be a long night at work so we shall see the state in which I wake up tomorrow. Saturday, 17 January 2009. It is going to be di...

I Can TRI: June 2009
http://il-galea.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 23 June 2009. I once belonged to a student organisation (marginally . I wasn't particularly active but my girlfriends at the time were) that had motivation checks during long(ish) meetings to ensure that the participants were still on the ball, still thinking straight and that they all hadn't lost the will to live. While I found those humorous at the time I find myself in need of one at the moment. I'm sooo looking forward to our summer holiday in Malta (during which I will be training). How the...

I Can TRI: February 2009
http://il-galea.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 5 February 2009. A back injury added to the feet of snow that have decided to grace the British Isles this week and the resulting treacherous roads (and let's not forget work) have meant that though the pain in my back has subsided, another pain has kicked in . in a region just below my back . the weather.

I Can TRI: the second weigh-in
http://il-galea.blogspot.com/2010/03/second-weigh-in.html
Sunday, 14 March 2010. So, my training story for this week is very simple (choose your language) xejn/nothing/nada/niet/neinte/rien and whatever other word or phrase may come to mind connected therewith ('sod all' is one that comes to mind). One hell of a working week and a weekend away from the house. Hopefully next week the result will be even better. 15 March 2010 at 11:23. 15 July 2010 at 23:46. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
