HEY! I know, it's been a while. But really, I haven't been doing anything that exciting, besides the holiday type things, hanging out, and working. Happy new year by the way. My friends at the gym, I am sorry that for the next 2 weeks (maybe) it will be crowded with annoying people who think the "new year new you" thing is actually true. Best of luck out there.
Anyways, I have many exciting developments to rattle on about. First off, I know the world champs isn't till September but I've been feeling pumped already about it. So, why not start early? Secondly, I've decided to race bikes. When I trained for the Ironman, I really grew to love biking much more (plus I actually trained on it)...AND I didn't get injured doing it (we won't count my trauma incident years ago). When I say race bikes, i mean race all the bikes. Road, Mtn, and maybe cross (fall/winter). I put my name out there/showed a lot of interest with a great team. Crossing my fingers by the end of the month I will be official. I think this will SUPER benefit my few triathlon races I will do next year.
By the way, like the new layout? I like minions. So whatever if you don't.
So, ya. BIKE RACES! I am pumped. Another thing, to buy a TT bike or not. I have been juggling this for a while. I want to be up there with the big kids in the front of my age group. BUT, after much discussion with many different people, I have decided to not go for it. First off, bikes these days are crazy expensive and you really don't get that great of components/parts for your money. I got lucky with my road bike....I bought at the perfect time (somehow). Even if I would get a mediocre in the middle TT bike...I would be spending crazy amounts of money...for bleh. So, I think I am actually going to invest in some badass race wheels (which I can use for road racing, tri, cross, whatever). I would hardly use my TT bike....except for triathlon races (i don't sign up for that many actually)...and it would sit around anyways collecting dust/feeling sad. Plus, I love my road bike. It's cool.
Been thinking of getting a pet turtle. thoughts?
I may or may not write about training stuff again this year. I won't do weekly...I think I will just write about epic training things. and races. and random things I think about. and penguins.
I'm not sure who reads this, but shout out to you.
Race schedule 2013.........ish
Hyannis half marathon: feb something.
March: road bike season starts
May: tough mudder and reach the beach
June: patriot half ironman
sept: VEGAS baby
I'm juggling the idea of Timberman in August. I don't really feel like doing a half right before a half, but maybe I can do the sprint tri (when is the last time I've done one of those?). So if anyone wants to party up in NH with me/is already signed up please let me know.
k bye!
I run.
