Todde's Tri Blog

this past week had mixed reviews with me. overall i was satisfied with the # of workouts. i had a few good bikes and run but i swims were sub-par due to a sore shoulder. i think i am stuck with the shoulder issue until i can take a week off. most of the run and bike workouts where at a good intensity level which was a bite tougher than i thought due to some lingering fatigue. i read that after an IM you really arent right for at least a month. i guess they were right b/c it has been tough getting the morning workouts in and they have all felt slow at times. i have been pleasantly pleased with my run pacing and hope to post a 6:30 to 6:45 pace at captex. that would be a hupe pr for me and probably get me under 2:15 for the race.

i bought some new racing flats this past weekend. went with the fila volantes. they are i bit heavier than most flats (9oz) b/c they offer a little more cushion than most. i opt'd for them b/c i like the fila flow technlogy, i needed the padding to up to half marathon runs, and the price was hard to pass on. i plan to run in them a few times this week to ensure they are race worthy. i also bought some new shoes for the bike. went with some yellow michelin pro 2 races. should like sharp with a blue bike. at least i think so.

last but not least is my diet. i have been carry a few extra lbs lately. nothing anyone would notice except me. its be hard to pass on the sugary stuff lately and i have a few exta lbs in the waist. just need to remain strong but damn i love JD cookies and margaritas! I was a good boy yesterday at chuck e cheeses. i passed on the pizza but did eat some breadsticks and cake. i am so weak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
