One Clydesdale’s Journey

Okay, I know, I’m a week late with these. What can I say, after the race and then getting home to watch the Packer game one thing led to another and before I knew it, it was late and all I wanted to do was crash. So, without further ado, here are my results;

Well I thought long and hard about it and after being on IR for most of the season I couldn’t let it end without getting in one more race. So I broke down this morning and signed up for the indoor Turkey Triathlon down in Racine at the RecPlex. Their slogan is “Eat more pie, [...]

…And Beer Well, I got the Lakefront Discovery Run done and over with. 15k, that is the longest that I’ve ever run. And let me tell you, when you run as slow as I do that takes a long time! 1 hour, 45 minutes and 38 seconds to be exact, but who’s counting… oh wait, [...]

Oh yeah and a little biking just to try and mix it up. Well, I stepped in it with both feet as I mentioned last week and signed up for the Lakefront Discovery run 15k. And now the clock and the calendar seem to be against. I’m trying to get a run in every other [...]

Well, I’ve gotten a little more biking and running in this past week and the arm is getting very close to being back to 100%. But to be perfectly honest with you, I’m very ready to get back in the water and find out how it does as far as swimming is concerned. Tomorrow I [...]

Well, I saw the orthopedic Doc this past week and he gave me the go ahead to start doing some light training; slow jogging (which is how I run, so I figure fast walking to start) and I can do some riding, but no swimming yet. He also won’t clear me to race until he [...]

So I’ve managed to pick out a few races that I want to and I’ve also narrowed down at a least a few weekends that I want to race; I just need to decide which race. One of the tougher decisions, that I believe I’m getting closer to making, is how hard do I want [...]

And proper technique requires a lot of training. Ergo, if you stop training you can lose that technique very quickly. And I just discovered that the hard way this past Saturday when I got in the pool for the first time in over 2 months. The lack of training hurt my running a bit, but [...]
