Training continues though I did take a week break the first week of Feb. Spent some time in AZ looking at and evaluating our competition dogs up in the Santa Rita mountain range of SE AZ. Came home and hit it again. Taking a break is always hard,difficult to get the groove going again. I'm glad I signed up for the tri swim group at Westwood Fitness center as it led to more motivation via group runs and such.
I really miss riding though, enough that I joined as a full member at Westwood to take advantage of the spin classes and group rides indoor. Having people to train with is really becoming apparent as an advantage. I was always a solo type of person but motivation and commraderie of a group is growing on me. The shared insights and experiences are great nuggets of knowledge to smooth the road to my Ironman quest.
January ended with me getting a 5 mile run just hours before my flight to Tucson and my logging over 100 miles running and swimming. Woo Hoo!!!
My swimming keeps evolving and I'm gaining confidence that I can do the 2.4 miles swim leg of an ironman. I'm scheduling a couple of personal trainer sessions at the club to tailor a cross training regimin to help build strength and indurance as well as increae core strength needed for good swim form and technique.
Well that's all for now.
