Time to get caught up on the blog.  With work, family, and training I have a hard time blogging the daily workouts.  

For Saturday an Olympic Tri race was scheduled, but because there wasn't one available my trianing guide had an alternate for the swim, bike, and run.  After swimming at the pool in the morning I ran home for the bike and run.  For the bike I rode the trainer for 1.5 hours. For the run was 45 minutes on the tread mill.

Fun stuff scheduled for this coming week.  I'm heading to St George on Thursday for the winter tri camp being held down there over the weekend.  I'm looking forward to hearing from others that know their stuff about Tri training.  I'm a little anxious about the tough training schedule they have planned.  It's going to be good.

Update on my brother who's also in the STG Ironman.  He finally got a tri bike and on the maiden voage today he got about 6 miles before blowing out the rear tire when crossing a railroad track.  What a bummer.

John I was told by a guy today that there is a place in Orem that is a bike simulator and it has the st george iron man course on it...

Tyler, Was it a Computrainer? Computrainer is the bike trainer I have. I went with it because it's ran off of a computer and can run interactive video courses that take you throught a video of course and simulates all the hills. For mine I purchased the St George Ironman interactive course and have ridden it a handful of times. After riding the actual course down in St George I was surprized at how close the interactive video course on the Computrainer feels to the real thing.
