Man what a weekend! It was finally a weekend with pretty good weather and I was sure glad to enjoy it.
Saturday morning was cool and overcast but I knew it was going to get better later in the day so I opted to do my ride run in the afternoon when the little man went down for his nap. Bright and early I got up and got a ton of yard work done that I had been neglecting, I mowed, pulled weeds, trimmed the trees and had it all done by 10 which was a relief as I wouldn't have it hangin over me the rest of the weekend. After that we played with all the neighbor kids and enjoyed the remaining time of the morning.
By 1 or so the weather was perfect, sunny and almost no wind so I got on the bike and headed out. I was riding by myself so I wanted to a do a little time trial for 56 miles and see if I was under my goal for Kansas, ended up hitting it relatively easy so hopefully things go well down there. I rode another 10 miles and came home and headed out for the transition run. I went a little over 5 miles and was having some serious stomach issues, I think I over did the Carbo Pro/GU2O mix on the bike but that is what training is for is to figure it out for the big race. The good thing is I went out on the first mile off the bike at a 7:03 pace, a little to fast for me to sustain but was good that the legs responded. I averaged right at a 7:30 for the run which I was happy with.
For Sunday the plan was for a long run and a quick spin on the bike. I could not get going in the morning no matter how much coffee I drank. I opted to once again to push the workout back until mid afternoon even though I knew it would be hot. After a morning of running errands and getting some household stuff done and much needed nap I headed out. I ended up running 15.25 miles at a 7:50 pace and I felt every bit of the workout on Saturday but was glad to be mentally pushing through the last couple of miles. After the run I hopped on the bike for a quick 40 minute spin and I think I created a small lake under my bike from the sweat.
Overall it was a great weekend, over 20 miles ran and 80 miles rode, got a ton done around the house and spent some quality time with the family. What a great weekend but I am wiped, I looking forward to bed and a much needed rest day tomorrow.

The Usual Catch Up Post
Where to start....considering I was still getting over being a bit sick last week and all I was really happy with how things were progressing. My running legs are coming back around and between the weekend and early this week already have some serious time on the bike.
Last weekend was great I got out Saturday and ran 14 miles on my own bright and early so I could take care of some stuff for work, overall the pace was there and things seemed to go pretty smoothly besides my IPod running out of juice about 5 miles in. The local path where I run was packed and it was great to see everyone out and doing something. I followed up the run with a longer spin on the bike in the basement. Things were feeling pretty good on Saturday and I think the body was finally coming around again.
The rest of the day was very relaxing, we grilled out with the neighbors down at Houli's and went and saw baby Manderino over in Geneva for dinner.
Sunday I met up with Rick and we headed out for a longer ride, we ended up going 77 miles the longest ride of the year for me. I felt pretty good up until the last 20 or so, not sure if this was conditioning or just a bad day but I felt every bit of the last 20 miles. I know that the mileage is starting to up so just need to take it as it comes.
The downside of the weekend was when I got home Sunday the little man had come down with a fever and was not feeling well at all. That meant the rest of the day and Monday was spent pretty much rolled up with him on the couch watching shows and hanging out. The good news is after hitting up the doctor yesterday and getting the goods (drugs) he has finally turned the corner and seems back to normal. The upside is that I stayed home today and we have got to hang out all day and just play, it is not that often where the two of us get so much time to just chill and hang out during the week and the weekends usually involve a lengthy training day or days. When these opportunities present themselves it is quite nice.
Anyways, today we had the usual Computrainer class and surprisingly the thing was full. From four folks last week to a full 14 this week, I don't get it. This weeks class was good, it shocked the legs and overall I felt really good, I would say that is the best my legs have felt at one of those classes in over a month. Got a run and swim on tap for the evening and an early appointment with my bed.

Mucho Better
Well this week got off to a slow start. Turns out if you are already coming down with something and decide to jump into 62 degree water; followed with a very cold breezy ride and run; while wet; you will end up sick if you are me.
So Sunday woke up feeling like crap, the old coughing like crazy, nasty snots achy body crap. So my remedy was to go to bed at extreme earliness the next two days with no training and bite this in the ass, oh ya add in some Delsym Cough medicine as that stuff rocks. As Kansas 70.3 is only three weeks out, there is plenty of work to be done and being sick is not going to help. It seems day after day things are improving 100% so I should be back better than ever by tomorrow.

Yesterday to get the week going I did a variable ride in the basement on the trainer and man do I think I need a fan, especially now that it is getting hot out. I think I made a small lake under the bike but it felt good to get the legs moving again.
Last night I ended up swimming a nice set of 2750 that went super quick. Masters is over and now I am forced to swim be myself, this is good and bad. The bad is it is extremely boring, the time is not set in stone so you can procrastinate and no one to swim with means no competition so you definitely don't go as hard. The good is that there is no one to shoot the breeze with so you get in and get done.
This morning was the usual Computrainer class at Endure It!. The class was small but good company. I am not sure what the deal is but these classes are packed all Winter and than come Spring everyone disappears. You can not recreate the intensity of the class in the 90 minutes you are there when riding outdoors. Oh well who knows I think they are worth doing at least once a week and you are done with your ride by seven in the morning.
The set this morning was one of the easier of the year which was good because after being doped up the past two days I needed to ease back into it. The rest of the week through Monday things are going to ramp up!
Tonight debating between a swim or run, it is ridiculous out like 85 so thinking a run may be in store but we will see how it works out.
On a side not looking to maybe ride in Barrington on Monday if anyone is interested just let me know.

Galena..Windy and Cold
Well going into Galena you always know it is going to be a cold swim but yesterday the swim was the refreshing part. The water was somewhere around sixty-two degrees and the outside temp had to be around forty-five or lower with huge wind so getting into the lake was the warm part.
They changed the course this year and the course was awesome but the weather added an extra challenge. With huge wind, cold temps and a very challenging course it made for a tough day.
The swim started out fine with no big surprises. I thought I swam faster than what they have for my split so not sure if this is all in my head or if the timing mat was at a different location. Either way no big deal but definitely need to figure out why my wetsuit rubs on my neck.
The bike course was great but a challenge. Considering where we live we don't get to ride hills all that often and this course had a lot of them. It started out pretty windy right at the top of the hill at T1. I tried to just find my groove and get my heart rate down from the swim, oh ya and get the feeling back in my body. As things progressed in the bike things moved along relatively uneventful. I seemed to pass a ton of people on the hills as I rarely got out of the saddle and just spun up them with a higher cadence on the lower gear, I was only passed by one person on the bike and had to pass somewhere in the twenties which is a new experience for me. The work through the winter definitely helped as the legs fairly felt good on a tough course.
The run was the downfall of the day, the run course ended with a brutal hill and I never felt good
the whole time on the run. My calves felt tight right after getting off the bike but came around a quarter of a mile in but just couldn't seem to find that other gear on the run. I had no idea what my pace was on the run as I didn't use my Garmin and my new crappy Timex watch got messed up so was just going on feel. I think about ten guys went flying by me on the run but I didn't have anything left to go after them. The worst part of the day was the hill at the end of the run course, it was brutal and took everything I had to get to the top.
Overall the day was a positive, beat my time from last year on a tougher and longer course and finished tenth in my age group out of ninety-eight guys. I was fifty-fourth overall out of seven hundred ninety-nine. Age group is top ten percent and overall top seven percent so room to improve but not bad.
Hope they keep this course next year as no I can improve on my time.

The final countdown...
Well finally after months on the trainer and some ridiculous weather for the past six months the Chicago tri season kicks off the 2009 season on Saturday in Galena and for me it can't come soon enough.
I had all intentions of getting out and riding Saturday but when the alarm went off at 5:30 and I looked out the back window and saw the trees blowing almost sideways I decided this was not the day to deal with crazy winds. So I went back to bed and slept in until almost 8:00 which for me hasn't happened in a really long time. Our family is usually out of the house on weekdays by 7:10 and off to daycare and work. Well a toddler has no idea what the difference between Monday and Saturday is so on the weekends it is consider a pleasure if we sleep past 6:30 and now after almost three years of this you kind of just wake up on your own at the crack of dawn.
So after sleeping in and the weekend being mothers day and all I really couldn't get in a groove to get going. Workout totals for the entire weekend was a little over 7 miles, that is it and I am cool with it, now.
Ironman training takes quite a bit of time and for those that work and have a family it takes a toll on everyone in some form or another and I really think you need those breaks mentally as well as physically where you say enough, I am going to chill this weekend try and have a normal weekend that does not revolve around your training schedule. Well that weekend was last weekend and let me say it couldn't come at a better time. It wasn't planned but after all said and done I think I needed it. It let me get right back at it Monday morning at 5:30 am watching Sportscenter on the trainer with a fresh mind, a little less guilt and some fresher legs.
The rest of the week has been pretty typical. Monday swam 3100 yards with a 500 for time again, kind of stuck at the 6:42 mark on that distance but I am happy with the pool progress. Tuesday started with a 90 minute trainer ride and Sportscenter again.
So the highlight of the week: I got my Brooks T6 racers and I had to 
give them a spin. They are very lightweight and very comfortable even running with no socks. I ended up going just under seven miles with an average pace of 6:57 per mile, I have never ran that far that fast so I will have to quote Mars Blackman here "Is it the Shoes? Is it the Shoes? Is it the Shoes? … Money, it's gotta be the shoes." Hopefully they are fast on Saturday as well.

Hopefully they are fast on Saturday as well.This morning hit up the Computrainer class on the road bike and the set was good, high watts at short threshold sets. This was a perfect class for racing this weekend.
Still going to hit the pool once more this week and running with Radgowski in the morning but nothing to crazy on tap. Even though Galena is just a Sprint and a challenging one at that, I know the real goal is Louisville but I want to go there and definitely do better than last year. I am ready for a challenge and to see how my body responds.
Oh ya, stayed up way to late last night watching the Biggest Loser finale. Why was that three hours long? Very grateful for the DVR on that but man what a great message and to see how much better and healthier those folks are today than six months ago all through hard work and a decent diet is a great message. I really hope the father son team stick with it and help the younger brother get his weight down as well.

Almost the weekend..
Since it is Friday it is time to try and figure out what to do this weekend, I am leaning towards a long ride on Saturday leaving my house at the crack of dawn.
This is the last weekend before the Galena Sprint Tri which is kind of the unofficial kick off to the tri season here in Chicago. I know this is just a Sprint and the ultimate goal is Louisville at the end of the year but I am really looking forward to seeing where things are at. Also just excited to actually be doing a race as it seems we have been hamsters on a wheel for the last five months as much as we have been in on the Computrainers due to the horrible Chicago weather.
Right now the plan is go out early tomorrow and get 70 or so in followed up with a quick run. If I leave early enough I should be back mid morning and still have time to hang with the family which I am sure the wife would appreciate. Sunday is going to be another long run and not sure when I am going to get this in as it is Mothers Day and plans have yet to be determined, but will find time to fit it in.
On a different topic, I am not sure what the deal is with swimming and my legs cramping. It seems whenever I do a hard run at lunch and have a bunch of fast sets at masters my legs cramp, I am trying to determine if this is due to not enough fluids/food during the day or a side affect of the way I push off the wall. Either way last night I totally blew up in the pool during the last set of 4x200 pulls, totally cramped up on both legs, not fun. Let's just day today I am downing water like crazy and cutting back on the coffee, I also made sure to start the day with a big breakfast at Egg Harbor, yummy!
The positive thing that came out of swimming is after the warm up and a couple of other sets that I don't really remember we did 6x100 all out. The first one was done at 1:13 which is up there with my fastest ever and I was able to stay within 3 seconds for the next 4 and hit the wall on the last one coming in at 1:22 but overall happy with the progress this year in the pool, sucks that masters ends next Thursday. After that it is all on me to swim by myself throughout the summer and continue the intensity in the pool.
Let's hope for good weather this weekend and next week at this time we will be heading to Galena for the weekend, lake temp is already a balmy 61 degrees.

What a Great Sunday....
to run a half marathon. Let's just say I did much better than I originally thought I would. I had a time set in my head of where I wanted to be at. My goal going into this was to beat my previous half by four minutes which was run almost a year to the date in Indy. Well I not only beat it I killed it by almost ten minutes, a 1:34:48. This is great as it definitely helps show that the training plan is working and things are moving in the right direction. I really think the running with Noel and Rick defiantly helps as they push (or pull) me past my comfort level.
I went out from the start with a plan to just feel out the first couple of miles and see how the legs felt. I was clicking off 7:10 miles for the first two and things felt good so I sat at that pace and pretty much carried it for every mile after that. Each mile was almost identical from the start to finish, this is great for me. I am terrible at setting the pace and usually go out to fast but today things were just working. I had a good nutrition plan for the day as well, I ate a half a bag of GU chomps on the ride down to the race along with a half a water bottle of water, a half a cup of coffee about thirty minutes before the race and a GU gel about fifteen minutes before the start. I followed that up with a gel at the thirty minute and one hour mark. This worked out perfect.
I think this was really the first weekend I have had a chance to run on fresh legs in awhile as we usually ride pretty hard on Saturday and sometimes follow that up with a brick run. Needless to say this leaves the legs a bit drained for the long run on Sunday.
Well this weekend was a bit different as I volunteered to head up the no-drop intermediate ride for the Endure-It Club, this was both a blessing and a curse. At the time of the ride I was bit annoyed as I couldn't really get into a rhythm on the bike as I had to keep turning around making sure we weren't losing anyone but it was the first time I got to get out on my new Pinnarello road bike for a decent amount of time. I hadn't been out on a road bike for a lengthy ride in a couple of years so it was definitely a nice change of pace. One of the good things that came out of doing this was the legs felt really fresh this morning for the race even after riding forty miles yesterday. At times I was a bit annoyed yesterday as trying to keep a decent pace was difficult but overall I didn't really mind as it does encourage others to get out and ride which is always good. If I wasn't training for an Ironman I would do it again but it probably is not going to happen again this year or at least not until September.
Today was great weather wise and after feeling pretty good after the race the family hung out a bit outside . During nap time I was able to mow the yard again for the second time this week as well (I would settle for a sand yard as I hate mowing) finished up the edging and other yard cleanup from the winter.
Once all the yard work was done I headed out for a quick lap around the prairie reserve on the mountain bike for forty minutes or so just to spin the legs out and relax a bit.
Just got done dancing for twenty minutes as well with Landon and man the song Ecstasy by Rusted Root is great for wearing down a toddler.
What a great weekend and looking forward to racing in two weeks!

Finally Friday
It has been a bit of a hectic week, it started off with having work spring something on me that needed to get done on Sunday, which of course never goes as planned. So after working late into Sunday evening and trying to get into the swing of things on Monday. Everything just seemed to get started on the wrong foot this week. We have also been having some incredibly crappy weather still here in Chicago which is not helping matters either.
Well this was a big week for training and things went really well. I actually swam three times this week which I usually don't do and one of those was with Amy. It is hard for both of us to get out and workout together with Landon so when the few opportunities do present themselves it is kind of fun.
On Wednesday I actually did more than an Olympic distance triathlon in each discipline. It was spread over 12 hours but does that really matter? Following that I was beat on Thursday so I decided to take Thursday as a rest day which never happens and by this time of the year mixing up even the little things helps.
Today I didn't have to work so I decided to get up and get in my seventy minute run immediately followed by a 3200 yard set in the pool. I ended up cruising through the run on the treadmill and watching the Bulls highlights from last nights triple OT game about twenty times. I also was watching one of the TV's in the far right, every time I start watching something not directly in front off me I must drift to that direction and needless to say I about fell off the treadmill as my shoe caught the edge of the belt. Luckily it was only me and a couple of senior citizens walking on the treadmills.
This weekend is the Palos Half Marathon on Sunday which I should be able to beat my PR pretty good. We also have the usual club group rides on Saturday. I volunteered to head up the no drop ride so I plan on riding that with some intervals on my road bike followed up with another lap on my own on my tri bike.
Should be a fun weekend and looking forward to racing in two weeks.
