A new chapter began this week. coming back from GA gave me the motivation that i needed to push on through. I just needed to see my POPS who at 94 is survivor! He can't walk and he can't hear but that doesn't stop him from living..He is a remarkable man. I got back in the flow right away with solid swims and rides. ONE other change I have made is doing a spin interval classes with JGOTS. My Saturday ONE ride turned out to be quite eventful for me as I was able to increase my HR by 10 and ride with the group until Alma School climb.. I put my HR on 140 for the hill and rode steady up to Dynamite, then went to 53/11 at 32 mph down Dynamite. At the golf course I thought I saw ONE riders and it turned out it was John and Bill. They must have stopped along the way but it told me I wasnt that far behind. 22mph thru Rio and kinda rolled through to FH. climbing Palasades 10-12% grade was slow but after I rolled pretty good all the way back..All in all a great 52.
So Sunday there was a change in plans. Originally I had planned to roll Lake Mary Rd for 4-5 hr but that changed as we were baby sitting my sons new sheltie, THOR..so I ran the Pemberton trail instead for a 2 hour run..87 and 43% humidity just plane sucks. but i got throgh and legs are not toasted. A solid 15 hour week in Build 1-Week 1
Next week I plan to got to Flagstaff for three days of training. two rides and a long run.
2012 BON TEMPS ROULE
I am so looking forward to 2013, as my race plans have been made. It will be a full year for sure with three Ironman 70.3 races, Leadman 125 and IMAZ. I will be making major changes to my training and strategy for races this year as the only way to improve is to dig a little deeper into my body and soul. All 2012 goals were met and it was a fantastic year culminating with a stop at the finish line of IMAZ. I crossed so many personal goals that I lost track and I hope to the same this year. So to say that I am motivated again is a understatement. But the news of the year is that Kiel and myself will be racing together culminating in finishing Ironman Arizona 2013. Bon Temps Roule, my friends as i hope to train with all my ONE mates again this year.
