Personal:

I go to TCU and am a member of the TriFrogs team here. I just started training for triathlons in August 2010. I ran track throughout high school, but always hated long distance until this summer. Something inside me snapped and I found out that I love it! Unfortunately, I got a stress fracture due to overtraining for a half marathon I was aiming to do in December, but I should be back on my feet soon! In the meantime, I've significantly improved in the biking and swimming! Stay tuned to watch me grow!

I did the elliptical again today. I wanted to test my speed and see if I could improve from yesterday. Usually I do ellipticals Tuesday/Thursday and the second day I'm significantly slower. I wanted to find out if it was just a mental thing. It usually is. I did 6 miles and ended up averaging a 5:39 pace. Finished in 34:05. Again, I'm not sure how ellipticals translate in running terms, but I was pleased with this big improvement, especially after another PR the day before.
