As you may already know I was negotiating a new job all week and didn't have time to post. However I did have time train and only missed one day (Friday's swim). I'm just going to post some highlights for now.
Good swim Tuesday the 2nd, Renee watched and said my form seemed much improved over the last month. Thursday's run/cross training session was perticulary strong. Saturday I did my first 3 hour indoor training session watching the lake placid video and did all 55 miles. My butt hurt but I felt great. Sunday I ran 4.5 miles at a better pace then I've been training then did another hour on the indoor trainer.
My knee has been great, no pain at all. My shins have been hurting as are my hips and shoulders. More annoying then hurting i guess. Might as well get used to it. Ordered a new wetsuit as well as some nutritional products.
Really pumped for Oceanside, pumped and confident. This may be another tough week to post since i don't have work email yet but i'll try and stay on top. Next week I should be back to normal.
Keep following please. Thanks.

Sunday January 31
Distance - 1 hour run, 1 hour spin class. Worked hard but it seemed easy which I guess is a good thing. Decided not to push it. For some reason my knee has been doing fine. YAY!
Nutrition - Cliff bar, water, gu. No problems which is good because if I threw up three days in a row I'd be worried. Not sure what is going on but I am ALWAYS hungry and as soon as I feel hungry i feel like I'm going to be sick.
Song of the day - A song by Ludacris that the spin instructor played. Gotta love that name :)

Saturday January 30
Distance - 2.5 hr indoor ride which I think should calculate to 40 miles (15 per hour). 5 mile run (10 degrees with the wind chill) Ipod froze again. UG! This cold weather training is psing me off. However I did pick up my NEW BIKE today! Of course I couldn't ride it since frostbite is probably not a good thing, can't wait though. Feels really really different so it will take some getting used to. I am bringing it to Oside.
Nutrition - One bottle of cytogainer, one bottle of water. No problem on the bike but threw up on the run.
I think the problem is that I drank a lot of the mix in the last half hour on the bike. A teamate recommends not to take anything then so I have time to digest and not have stuff swirl around in my stomach. Having said that I'm going to try what the guys on my team that have done Ironman all use. A mix of products called cytomax and carbopro, none of them have a problems so I'll try it while I still have time.
Song of the Day - 21 guns. No idea who it is by but it was the theme song to the movie transformers 2 which I watched while riding. Sure would be nice to watch a few movies during Ironman :)
