Overall Goal: Compete this season in triathlon and endurance, while guaging myself for potentially finishing longer distance in 2009. I want to live life, longer, harder and faster than I ever have. "The people in life who think I am obsessive, are usually lazy"
Fit Status:
I feel like I'm bursting with energy. Moving up in the world of triathlon, with speed and endurance at my side.
My church activities leader Tim Slesk was into triathlons, and super fit, and he seemed amazingly happy. He's a huge inspiration, and up next is Lance Armstong, Mark Allen, and Brian Mackenzie, Crossfit endurance specialist. And can't forget Tom Wilfong who taught me the importance of discipline.
Why I Love It:
I love the feeling of accomplishment, and the ability to push harder and harder. The ability to do things others can't even fathom. Being fit and in shape, when the need occurs is always a plus. Excelling above others in your field is always a plus.
How I Stay Motivated:
When things aren't going well, we all need a tough grinding workout.
I am SINGLE, my favorite date idea is anything including some type of workout.
Sometimes we all need a few days off, don't get burned out. Then, when you feel ready, go for it.

Goal (Long):
I successfully accomplished my goals all summer long. Beat my Half Ironman time goal of 5:33 and the Lake Stevens 70.3, completed my 50k Trail run as planned, and completed the Seattle to Portland with ease. My new long term goal includes competing in the Clearwater Florida Half Ironman Championship race that I qualified for, and completing Ironman Canada. I want to compete, and feel good about my performance. I had a recent hiccup with a sore knee while Hiking the Wonderland trail around Mt. Rainier. So proper rest, and healing, then back at it to re-peak for my November championship race is essential. I need to eat healthy, and stay in shape all winter because I signed up for Ironman Canada August 30, 2009! Hoping to incorporate Crossfit into my workout regime.
Weight Goal:
Bodyfat Goal:
10%
Upcoming Contest:
Texas Triathlon, Olympic distance at Canyon Lake

Ok, so if your reading this report, start with the blog a few before this one, and read your way from bottom to top, so you can read the details in order. hummm, kinda confusing, sorry about that lol. (My pre race report, then my swim report, then my bike report, then my run report. make...
So, after a near complete burnout this end of season, it's time to get caught up on some things in my personal life. I think for my winter program I am going to keep in shape by training higher intensity and shorter workouts, including much more variety, hopefully some Crossfit type...
I read your whole 3-part triathlon blog and was bowled over by what you accomplished. Congratulations.
I've been concentrating on shorter runs this year, and just finished a 10 miler yesterday, my first race that long this year. I plan to run the marathon again this December and am going to start pushing my training harder.
Congratulations on your race. Just completing a half ironman is achievement enough. It was hard enough doing an Olympic distance triathlon, and that's only half as far.
I've definitely battled some late fall training blues, and I bombed in my last tuneup race, so I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm still aiming to run the marathon on Dec. 7.
Word is there are only 300 spots left for New Orleans 70.3 - so you should sign up quick if you are going to do it. Should be a lot of fun. 100 miler is a good way off. Gotta get at a 50k, and hopefully a 50 miler first. Baby steps. I remember when a marathon seemed impossible. Hell - doing a half marathon this weekend, and my first long run (about three weeks ago) was 16.5mi. I remember training forever for my first half. Hahaha, it is good to see some progress.
You do tri's? That is awesome!!!! I am currently training for a half Ironman. Love to hear any tips you have. Heard you talking about Crossfit and trying to balance mass with endurance. It is rough being muscular and an endurance athlete... Are you currently doing Crossfit? How is it going?
Thank you! I love SA! Have you been to Six Flags Fiesta Texas or SeaWorld? Those would be great places to take your kiddos. Or maybe a waterpark...we have a couple around here. How's the training coming along for the next triathlon?
