At the fork of the road…Last week, my training has gone up and down. Looking back, I missed my bike drills and need to hit the pool more often. Yesterday, I had a chat with my sis and we discuss about my training and my career. Basically it came down to this…I only have time and effort to focus on one thing. Either my work career or my “tri” career (if u can call it that)...

Quick blurb… Not much going on. I went to the gym this morning. It was still a blur. I was struggling getting up or staying in bed. I am suppose to do weights on Thurs. I bail and put it on Fri. Today is also my run drills. I ain’t going to bail on that. I want to get a swim in as well. I haven’t swim in the middle of the week. The drills that my coach told me to do I...
Running at 10:17 min/mile! Woohoo…last night I had one of the best runs ever. Instead of running with a HR of 140, I run with 150. Oh it feels much better. Along the whole run, I could feel I am moving faster. I always run the same route. Places where I normally take an hour to get to, it took me 50 min. In fact, I had to increase the route by cirling around the block b/c I am running...
Mind Control. This won’t be any new profound idea in life. It started from reading T-Metz’s post. If you can’t visualize yourself on that podium, you’ll never get there, no matter how incredible of an athlete you are.I have invest a great deal of time, effort and resources to train. I have changed my diet and my living habits. Why not do the same for the way I think? I...
Have you ever seen a swimming rock? When I am busy, my appetite goes out the window. This morning I didn’t eat breakfast and only had two Clif shot before my workout. It is now 1:30 pm before I am eating. No good. Busy with work..really need to get this networking done. The worst part being in IT is that a lot of time u can only do upgrades during off hours. 🙂 Need prayer here. I did my...
Weekend summary Fri night, I went to my free swim lesson with my coach. It is amazing how when I am in the pool with the coach, I feel stronger, move longer and faster. Anyway, I need to work on is getting my flick. Coach say I can flick 2-3 inches more. As we know in swimming, kicking is not a big thing. But i have to make sure my kick ain’t handicapping my speed. Then we work on more...
No Limits Training – 11 days left and What do you do with your 5%?? Just been looking back the training this week. When I drop, I really drop my training. Mon and Tues I spent the most of my time recouperating from my snowboard expedition. Wed did my long run. Yesterday, did one leg bike drill before going to Fellowship. This morning, spent 45 min at the gym. Tonight, I will meet with my...
Mind over matter… Athletes Don’t Have a Lock on “The Zone”, from LA Times. I was lazy and was asking Steve, from ChristianRunner.com, to summarize it for me. In his own way, he told me to “stop being so lazy, get off your butt and go read that article”. Well I unlazy myself, registered and read the article. In short, it talked about the importance of training...
Soreness all over. I didn’t do anything last night. I got home and slept at 6. I woke up at 3:30 am this morning. Body is aching all over. Snowboarding is quite a workout. Went to the pool this morning and planned to do some endurance swimming. I am way too tired. I had trouble breathing. It felt like everytime I took a breathe, I am taking in nothing instead of air. Did some TI drills. Now...
