Mid-week brick

I finished a nice little 2 hour brick this morning; nothing major just an hour on the bike and the treadmill. That combined with some yoga after work will be enough for one day. I've been managing to do yoga of one kind or another most days for the past few weeks. For the most part; I think it is helping me stay focused and reasonably calm.

Now if I could just keep those cookies and cupcakes at bay ... the weight would fall off and I would be VERY HAPPY. I'm still carrying those 10 pounds :-(

Sunday; Big Day

First big Sunday in a while ... and not the last I am sure. 3 hour brick: one hour at race pace on the bike; followed by 2 hours on the treadmill. All that refined sugar ... ugh!

9 gels, 6 bottles of Gatorade.

I love orange Gatorade.

Feeling good, feeling hungry! Looking forward to a quiet evening, and some good simple food.

What a crazy week

I'm glad this was a recovery week: crazy work and life kept me from getting any workouts done on Thursday or Friday. Back at it with a vengeance! Big workouts are on their way and I need to stay focused for them. Long rides; long runs; long swims. Ironman Arizona is in only 11 weeks!

Don't forget to check out my videos.

Announcement: See Dick Run video online

After much ado, the much anticipated video "See Dick Run" is online. This short documentary is the result of many hours of work by David Whiteman. David and I filmed this in the early fall. The video had its debut at Christmas time.

I was amazed (and found a new appreciation for actors) at how much work it was to film this short piece. Hours and hours ... whittled down to 12 minutes. I can only imagine the amount of work that went into the post-production.

Many many thanks to David for his patience and directing.

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it.
