What Have you Done for Me Lately?

After last weeks surprising podium finish at the TTT, this week it was back to a “normal” life; low training volume while I focused on being rested.  It’s a weird sensation to be going full tilt for 10 hours then not letting the heart rate climb out of zone 1. 

Finishing a race [...]

Triple T Ohio - 4 Triathlons in 3 days

 

This is not your typical event.  This is a weekend consumed by triathlon.  Each day is a physical and mental challenge to keep you moving.  Over 3 days, the body will have raced longer than an Ironman distance.  However, the race is broken up into “manageable” distances. 

Here is a recap from my perspective.

Diagnosing the Triple T

The weeks have flown by since my last race in California 70.3.  My time has been filled with a lot of training but even more with soul searching; where to next? 

Racing has started to become a large portion of my life, especially in the absence of a true 9-5 white/blue collar job.  Getting [...]

20/60/20 vs. 30/50/20

Protein/Carbohydrates/Fat

This week I’m paying careful attention to how my body reacts to a 30/50/20 diet.  On Monday, I plugged the percentages into Excel to see how much of each I’d have to consume at each meal.  Here’s the breakdown:

Calories Protein Carbs Fat 3000 900 1500 600 gms 225 375 67

Nailing the Early Morning Workout

There are not many people I know that enjoy the early morning sessions.  I’m talking the suns not up, the street lights are on and your eye lids still have “sleepies” in the corners.  Getting the quality nutrients in before hitting the gym or going out fora run can at least make you [...]

Singles, Doubles, Triples

 

This has been my life of late.  Bouncing from one workout to the next.  I’ve learned some really interesting things about my body and training long in general. 

One, my body hates to run at the end of the day.  It’s not so much the mileage or the wear on my legs but [...]

The Versatile Potato

When people think of a potato the first image that usually goes into their heads is fried.  Deep fried, shoved into a little cardboard container and then heavily salted.  Salvitating yet?  No, me either.

The potato got a bad rap.  Its a shame because post workout this vegetable can be a great recovery [...]

Armstrong Doggin' It?

I’m a LA fan but his build up to the tour has been less that stellar this year.  His recent performance at the Tour de Gilas has me thinking that somethings up.  Amanda actually said maybe it’s a ploy: Trick the competition to think he’s not a threat for Tour de France.

So, [...]
