Here’s the food for Day 2: Breakfast — Paleo Krunch Bar, Banana and Decaf Coffee. After breakfast I lifted and did an easy run. Morning Snack — Greek Yogurt with Cinnamin and a Grapefruit. I had this when I got to work (after leaving the gym). Lunch — The normal Read more…
While I am fairly good at getting all my training in, I have (continue have, have had forever) issues with my body composition. I really need to drop about 20 lbs before Ironman Texas. Through QT2, I work with Jaime Windrow who is a Registered Dietician and has her B.S. Read more…
I’m very lucky in that Shaun does a lot of the domestic things at home — laundry, dishes, vacuuming, litter boxes and most importantly grocery shopping. I hate grocery shopping, it requires leaving home, going to a large store filled with lots of less than efficient people and being tempted Read more…
Its December 31, 2011 and I’ve officially completed all of my training for the year. Numbers wise its been a pretty huge year (both for training and for racing).

Finally got my pictures from Ironman Florida. Swim (not a good picture) Bike (I was much happier to be on the bike than in the water) Run (so looking forward to the run) Finish (hooray!)
Less than 24 hours until race start. The weather today is cooler (high in the low 60s) and the wind is still pretty strong. The waves looked pretty choppy this morning as well. I’m hoping they calm day a bit by tomorrow morning. I think my biggest fear right now Read more…
