Back on track

It has been a while since I write anything. After completing my face ½ iron distance event in a time of 6:11:11 at the spirit of Morgantown in West VA. The race was great I recommend to everyone. It is hard because of the hills in the bike and the run. I have to admit the bike course was harder than I expected and I wasn’t ready for it, specially the second loop, next time more hill training. The run was 2 loops of 6.5 mile. The first 5 miles were flat then the last mile and a ½ was really hilly. Overall I am happy with my performance because it was my first 1/2. On September 6th the second one will come and Ill be ready.

The next week I took 4 days off. I went back to the pool Friday and Saturday for 2000 meters and 2500 meter in each day. I bike 25 miles son Saturday too. Sunday I took off too because of stomach problems. On Monday I was training full force. On Wednesday I decide to register for the Montclair triathlon that it is a little more than a sprint but much less than an Olympic. Let see how its goes. Montclair will be the first triathlon of my girlfriend and we are both really excited.

After this Montclair I have on agenda NJ triathlon, Luray triathlon weekend Olympic and sprint Annapolis 10 miler, Patriots ½ ironman at Williamsburg VA, Baltimore ½ marathon and the closing the year and season New York City marathon that by the way training begins next week.

I might be getting the new I phone this weekend let see if I finally decide.

My best friend is in town for the weekend so I ll be having fun with him plus going to the dc United vs. Chivas from Mexico. So the weekend looks good.

I will keep you posted about how everything goes.

Training, Euro cup, Triathlon

Training this week has been really bad because I have been tire. This is because I haven’t recovered from my trip over the weekend to Puerto Rico and because on Wednesday I watch Argentina vs Brazil soccer game. Yesterday I went to bed around 8 read my book and passed out. Hopefully I can get some rest this weekend in order to be fully ready for my first ½ half iron men next weekend. My training this weekend will consist of biking today, Run the Baltimore 10 miler tomorrow, swim in the afternoon and bike 50 to 60 miles on Sunday easy.

In other stuff the Euro cup quarterfinals are in full force so If you so if you have a chance to watch the games on ABC and ESPN do IT. ON Saturday the Netherland goes against Russia and on Sunday the big game between Spain and Italy. Remember I picked the Netherlands to win it all. Hopefully Spain beat Italy.

In the triathlon world the ITU des monies world cup is this weekend. Watch the broadcast live at the ITU site. Also Ford Ironman USA Coeur d'Alene, Ironman Japan Triathlon, and Ironman France will be held. So there is a lot of action.

AVP volleyball is also around.

So be aware I ll be back with more.
