Tri Training

For the second day in a row I biked 20km and bricked it with a 10Km run. My times were 51:12 and 1:04:44 respectively. My legs felt like I had lead coursing through them instead of blood. I did want to quit but I dug deeper and continued. My times aren't a big deal to me as of right now because I am in my building phase anyways. Getting good habits again, eating clean and just getting it done.
I was 278 lbs last month...I am now down to 264! I want to compete at 225lbs...More to follow !

Training Day

I actually stepped up my running and biking distance today. It's been a long week and weekend with my mothers heart failure and my wife's surgery...So, in lieu of it all, my outlet was to sweat and burn!
I forgot my swimming wear at home in BC. Since I'm three hours of driving one way to retrieve it...it's going to be a dryland training week!
I have been eating clean and losing weight a little bit but due to unforseen family emergencies, work, travel...it's increasingly frustrating to find time to train properly. But today I made time for myself.
I biked 20 Km. in 48:48 with a Ave HR of 155.
I then immediatly ran 10 Km. in 51:12 with a HR of 160.
I didn't feel awful but I have alot of weight to lose, alot of swimming to do and I can't wait until this awful snow bugger's off so I can get some rubber on the pavement.

First Real Start to training for 2012

Well, Today I went at it with my diet and my training. I am watching very closely now my calories in and my calories out. I ran 8km in 55 minutes at an average of 155 HR, swam 13 laps in 35 minutes ( although I was going slow with the expectancy of a slow endurance buildup) and I finished by biking 15Km in 38 minutes with an average heart rate of 145.

I realise this is just the start so I am easing into this with the hopes of being ready for this summers Triathlon season.

More to follow...!
