My new Team

Well you may have noticed the the new list of sponsor logos on the right side of my blog. Well today I was added to the East Suburban Sports Medicine Triathlon Team. Racing for Trizilla the past four years has been really exciting, and I'll always continue to support (and buy stuff) at Trizilla. Regardless, I'm really excited to race and be part of the new team, in addition to supporting my new sponsors. Please visit their websites at the right.

On the training front, the past two days have been very solid. Tuesday morning was my first time back in the pool since Triple T, and my arms felt great. I was right on with all my splits, and exactly where I wanted to be. Tuesday afternoon was a medium tempo 50 mile bike ride. I was shocked at how well the legs had recovered. I would of never guessed I had just finished a half Ironman, two Olympics, and one sprint just a couple days ago. As for today coach Kev made me do another 2 1/2 hour brick workout. Again legs felt great on the bike and especially strong on the four 12 minute intervals in zone 3/4. After the bike I quickly transitioned to a hard 30 minute run while maintaining a heart rate of 170-175. Of course this time I decided to do my transition super quick and run in my biking / tri clothes instead of switching into shorts...and wouldn't you know it on my run I saw two people I work with, who obviously think I'm now even more insane as they caught me running through town in a little tight shirt and spandex shorts. Oh well, let them think I'm crazy right? Maybe I am...
