Paul's thought for the day

I think the most important aspect of working out is being able to maintain good form even when your body starts to crap out.

I remember what pain feels like now

Today I decided I needed to quit screwing around and get back on the bike no matter how I felt, so I joined Breakaway in their Sunday morning workout. It turns out that today was "do Torrey Pines repeats for 2 hours" day. So: 1st real ride in months, on my tri bike with no climbing gears, I cranked out 6 repeats which isn't that great but I'm glad I did it, and hopefully I'll start getting back into it.

Happy New Year!

It looks like I'm becoming one of those "once a month" bloggers. See the chart at left for my swim, bike and run totals for the year. I feel like I have my swim base back, more or less.

Anyways, for the triathlon challenge the San Diego Triathlon Club came in 3rd for the month of December (swim month) with 856 total miles (75 participants). We got beat by 2 Alaskan clubs, go figure. I guess they have nothing to do up there then swim indoors.

January is bike month, each club is racing to get to 10,000 miles first so I need to put more time in on the bike. I also need to get my bike base back, the Oceanside 70.3 is in a few months and I am not prepared.

I hope everyone out there had a safe and happy new year!
