Provo Tri Race Report

Posted on June 30, 2010 - Filed Under Exercise, Triathlon | View Comments

Missed my personal best by 3 mins at oly-distance (1500 meter swim, 25 mile bike, 6.2 mile run).  Stinks because I had a really bad run… legs were shot after going too hard on the bike.  Rookie mistake. 
Still a fun event, though, as always.

Food today is fuel tomorrow, right?  Or something like that.  This smoothie had skim milk, banana, yogurt, apple, spinanch, and a handful of frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, bluberries, blackberries).  So good.

Birthday Challenge Report

Posted on May 23, 2010 - Filed Under Exercise, Triathlon | View Comments

Well, I did it.  The bday challenge went fine, except for the weather.  Left my house for the run at 6am and was completely soaked from rain after 2 blocks.  Not that fun for 8 miles.  Sore throat today might be from that.  I finished the run in 1:07. 
Rec center only open between 8-9 am [...]

“This is the body I was born with.  There is not much I can do to change that fact. I can sit on the couch and complain about always finishing last, or I can get out there and give it my best shot. I choose [...]

Here are some pics from my triathlon a few weeks ago and my wife’s 5K last weekend:

The swim.  Did just under 1 mile in Utah Lake — it was a little bit chilly.  I’m there in the middle in the white swim cap.

Bike leg was 25 miles.  Someday I’ll get better bike, but for now this is [...]

I always get nervous before events, whether it be a 5k or any triathlon.  I’ve only done this distance once (last year, same event) so I hope to [...]
