I'm Tri'ing

I know I should not complain, rain is a good thing, but it has rained pretty much every weekend so I haven't been able to take the new ride out.  This weekend is also a bust so I'm hoping that next weekend will be a different story. This past week was not a good week for me.  I had a pretty rough work week and a few late nights in the office so I was horrible about my workouts but it happens, life happens, so we will just start again next week. I still haven't purchased my hydration system for my new bike and need to the get rear wing on so when the weather does get nice I won't have any excuses.  Plus I'm super excited about the data I'm going to get from my new Garmin 500.  I'm a junky for workout data!! Still waiting to hear about the June and July Olympic distance races but since an even scheduled for next weekend at the same location was canceled I'm not so confident that these events are going to happen.

This weekend I decided not to run the Alamo 13.1 on March 22nd.  I have not trained for this race and do not feel the effort I would put into completing the race would be deserving of a finishers medal.  I've had plenty of time to train for this race and instead of being dedicated to that training plan I have elected to be lazy and miss too many workouts. I was excited for this race, I was looking forward to the challenge and hoped that it would help me with my triathlon training but I did the exact opposite.  My disappointment level is very high and the only way I feel I can get rid of this is to get back on track with my dedication to my training. I'm scheduled to start my triathlon training plan mid April so I haven't blown my prep for my triathlon races this year but I'm going to spend the next 5 weeks getting back on track.  I need to focus on weight loss, strength training and the basics (swimming, biking and running).  I will also get back to recordin...
