When taper starts, life gets in the way. – need to update my resume. There is a lot more that I do than I realize.– contact HH. I have 2-3 head hunters inquire about my resume and job positions. I have 20 emails in my hotmail with job positions.– need to clean room. Past week focus on training, my room is a mess. Ok, more messy than before (if that’s even possible).–...
Done.. I made a big mistake. I didn’t realize for HIM you are supposed to taper for at least two weeks. Oops. This is why you (I mean I) need a coach. A friend asked me the other day about getting a coach and how much I can afford. For now, if I get a tri coach, I need to stop seeing my swim coach (there ain’t enough money to go around). Looking to change a job and increase my...

I will give a more detail post of my training after tomorrow. Body starting to ache now. Mentally, emotionally and spiritually all fired up I don’t think I hit 24 hr (must be the male ego pride thing to post that...
Maxing out.. Just letting my stomach digest my lunch before I head out to run and swim. Will do trail running (easier on the legs). Just did a little adding for this week’s training. From last wed to next wed, I will be hitting 24 hrs a week :O. OMG. This weekend, I am training close to 10 hours. That’s equivalent to my weekly training last year. Yesterday I rode 4 hr and ran 1 hr as...

A quickie… This will be my last post before i head to Muskoka to race this Sunday. Thanks for all your support. Just to say tonight I had an open water swim with the coach and the gang. I LOVE IT. It was wavey. At first, it felt really ackward. It felt like I am swimming in a washing machine. Then later, I got use to it. The water was dirty b/c the waves was picking up all the crap in the...
