I hope to eventually complete a full distance Ironman.
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! Favorite Blogs: |

| Swim Set: 3x100 free, kick, pull warm up 1x150 free 1x1800 free...... timed- 36:30 This was my second major distance swim. I swim miles all the time doing intervals, but for triathlons and such you have to have the endurance and I hadn't tested that out very much. I'm pretty pleased with the result. The time is nothing beautiful, but the fact that I finished without even being out of breath tells me that come race day (or another time trial) I can push a lot harder. I'm impressed with how much I've improved since I started and could barely swim 200 without dying. I think it has a lot to do with finding your stroke rhythm and learning when to breath. I'm finally getting comfortable in the water! | | Add Comment |

| I had to take today off. While I could have made it to the gym before work, I was running off of about 4 hours of sleep and didn't think the workout would be worth the time since I was so exhausted. I took a 2 hour nap instead! | | Comments(1) |

I did cycling class this morning for 50 minutes and then a mini abs session afterward. I was still feeling a little tired and didn't get to the cadence I would have liked. I go later this morning to physical therapy and will be getting my orthotics. The doctor said I should be able to run once I get those in, so let's cross our fingers. Swim Set PM: 1x100 warm up 6x50 free @1:15 2x5x100 free @2:00 2x4x75 kick @2:00 1x100 cool down

| Today was elliptical day. I told myself I was going to shoot for 10, but I kept a 6:04 pace for 5 miles and decided to get off and stretch and get water. After that, I decided I didn't want to overkill it since I went so fast and called it a day. Total: 5 miles, Avg.: 6:04ppm, Time: 30:30 | | Comments(2) |

| 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. | | Add Comment |

| I had to do this work out early because I had work all day and then planned on driving down to Austin for the Livestrong Half Marathon to see my dad the next day. I was going to get up at 6, but couldn't roll out of bed until 6:30, so my workout was cut short. I only got in 12 miles, but kept a pretty good pace most of the way. Total: 12 miles Avg.: 15.6 mph Time: 46:12 | | Add Comment |
