First Tri of the Season

I signed up for my first tri of the season to realize it is only 19 days away. (as I am typing I am getting butterflies in my stomach!) I am so excited for the season to start, but I am nervous that I was not able to train at all in the off-season. I am planning to get a few rides in before the 14th with the hopes that the weather will continue to cooperate. :)

Our first TRI-OKC meeting of the year was last night. Talk about a great meeting. The speakers were so informative and the "runners" segment was awesome. I finally realize to get faster, I have to work harder on my runs and go longer distances. Since I have my swim down from so much practice last year (which is what I was worried about) I am going to focus on my run this year. With that said I am going to the track tonight to get some mileage in. I guess I am going to start with speed work and get some 800 repeats in. I just hope it pays off and I can see a big drop in my 5k times.

Meet Vinnie!

Meet Vinnie...yes, it's true, I named my bike. I have to have a serious relationship with this bike, so I figured if he didn't have a name, then the relationship would spiral downhill before it even started. My husband doesn't understand why it has to be a guy bike though! LOL! I named him Vinnie because of the whole Italian thing. Couldn't resist.

I went and rode Vinnie for the first time yesterday afternoon and froze my toosh off. It was great to get out and ride and the cold didn't bother me until I stopped riding. I only took him on a 12 mile loop around Hefner, but it was awesome. I didn't only look fast, I was fast. I even saw Steve Schlegel as I made my way around the loop and I told him I had to break it in!!!

Anyway...here he is...I am super excited about the upcoming season with Vinnie!

Slackerfest

Well, I guess you could say I have definitely slacked on my blog the last few months, but hey I've been super busy!!! Remodeled a new house the last 5 months and finally moved in. During this time, training went to the way-side. Gained weight from eating out so much too. Been training again for 4 weeks and feel great. Bought a new Cervelo this week too. Things are going...will post more and pics later this week!
