Sorry for the lack of posting, but here's a quick update of training for the past few weeks.
- CLIMBING: Latigo. Mulholland. Piuma or Calabasas Lollipop. These are 3 cycle rides that we have done the past few weeks. They are strictly climbing and crazy intense. The last one, Piuma, we did this past Saturday was straight up ridiculous - 4 hours of climbing. Let me say that this ride was by far the most physically demanding thing I have ever done. EVER. Harder than my marathons. We biked 2 loops of 28 miles each (56 total), and I almost wanted to cry after the first loop. And this is coming from someone who finished early compared with the rest of the team. After completing this workout, I felt that I could do almost anything...like whoa!
- Lance Armstrong also trains up on the Calabasas roads too.
- Did I also mention that I had to swim 2400 yards the next day and run 12 miles? Training is heating up...geez.
- Swimming = still looking to improve. May pay for a videotape lesson to improve my form. However, coaches tell me me that I'll be fine right now for the Ironman swim...aiya, self-critiques are vile things.
- Btw, Ironteam's idea of a recovery week = sprints...basically, no recovery weeks. Ouch.
- Like my man Carlos says, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop!"
- Oh man...I have cravings for In-n-Out now because I train so much. I don't feel too guilty since I burn so many calories during the week. Probably will cut back as May/June/July approaches and training cranks up a notch.
- I bought a scale and weighed myself ...around the 150-155 mark. Just insane because that is how much I weighed Senior Year of HS/Entering Freshman Year. For all you dieters, cut out your sugars and processed food. I've basically lost over 20 pounds since the height of my self-indulgence (i-banking in NYC).
- Wildflower Half-Ironman coming up in a month - wow, fast! We have a training simulation weekend in two weeks...can't wait.
