Gearing up

im in the time of the pre-season that i like to call "inventory". WIth my first race about 2 weeks away, i am just starting to sit down, and look at what i need as far as equipment goes. The bike went into the shop for a tune up, or really a little pre-racing season TLC. So, since i havnt been riding for the past few days, with my baby boy (Sly as i like to call him...) in the shop, ive been focusing on my running and swimming.

Other than that i am starting to take a really long hard look at my ironman training schedule. My first week of ironman training will begin the week AFTER my first race ( on June 8th) and the week after that, i will begin my completely revamped training regimine. it will include "saturday triples" (just like what it sounds... all three disciplines 1 day .my own little triathlon though often, not so little) and monday rest days to recovery from the brutal saturday and sunday sessions.

The one thing i am still not comfortable with, and probably because i havnt been looking into it as much as i should, is nutrition. Maybe ill stop by the store this weekend and look into what they have. other then that though, im just getting really excited for the racing to start! its going to be a great season. Ill have more later.
