The brick-nic on Saturday was a success. I was not as speedy as I was hoping, but the bike course was less arduous than I remembered it being last year. I am still no speed demon, but I think it would not be unfair to say that I have improved. Progress!
The run was tougher than I remember, though. It was warmer, which may have been a factor. I shuffled along for much of it, but I couldn’t get my heart rate to stay down. Anytime I approached anything close to a jog my heart rate seriously shot up. That’s a problem. I have emailed my coach about that.
The popliteus is still an issue. Grrrr. I am learning to work through it, though I know that is not the right answer. I know, I know…I should ice it. But it doesn’t hurt right nowwwww.
Oh, and yes, hot dog attained. Ironically, I wasn’t really hungry and forced myself to eat it. I can think of worse things to eat when you don’t feel like eating.
Thanks for reading!

- On November 7, 2009, I accomplished my dream of becoming an Ironman. It was a long and challenging journey, but it is one of which I am infinitely proud. This blog started as a chronicle of that journey, but is now becoming a place for me to write about training and life in general. As a matter of background, I spontaneously decided to run a marathon in 2006. Six marathons and a few triathlons later, I decided to attempt, or rather conquer, Ironman Florida.
