What's happenin!

Well I said that I was going to update this more often but apparently that was a lie!

Now to bring you up to date. I have done a little swimming virtually no running and have been spending almost every night on my mountain bike for the last week. You see I have gone and fallen madly and deeply in love with mountain biking again!

I know I know this is suppose to be about my triathlon training and it still will be but I think that I am going to have to edit my blog to bigmantri and mtb. I just can't really figure out why I stopped riding a few years back. All I know now is that I want to do more. I have been out Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday night this week! The only reason that I am not going tomorrow night is because I still need to swim.

I have my first try-a-tri in two weeks and I totally looking forward to it. I have really been down on myself because of my performances in the pool but maybe doing my first tri is what I need to get my motivation back. I really do hope so because I really enjoy my swimming, running and road riding. I just think for the summer my mountain biking will really take over for my riding days. Honestly it is just as good a work out. I will have to ride the road bike to work on my form and my cadence mainly because it is quite a bit diffrent. But I think that the mountain biking will help me out with my muscle and power.

Now what does this mean for this blog? Well I'm think it will still be mostly about my tri training but there will probably be a whole bunch in here about my mountain biking too. It will basically be my training and my adventures outdoors doing 4 things that I love to do!

So I hope that you stick around for the ride!

One Month Later

Ok so it has been a little more than a month since I last wrote in here and that is for a pretty poor reason.

I haven't exactly been the poster child for tri training in the last month. I have done a little running and a little running and even a little swimming. But all in all I haven't been doing close to enough.

So here I am again. I am starting from my week 8 training schedule and then I am in my first triathlon on June 6th.

I will be back to making regular updates here to keep you up on what has been happening in my exciting world.

Today I did a 4ooM swim doing 25Mx16 with 10 seconds between reps. Was a good swim. Sometimes I even feel like I'm not going to drown in the pool! That is kind of a nice feeling.

Tomorrow is a run for 30 mins, Thursday is my brick, Friday is a 500M swim, Saturday is a 45 min run and Sunday is a 25Km ride. The only thing that I might change around a little bit is that my ride on Sunday might turn into a mountain bike ride. I am slowly starting to fall in love with mountain biking again!

That's all I have for today and hopefully I'll be back soon!
