Current Training Plan

I don't have a rigid, set in stone, training plan right now.  I'm tracking minutes spent swimming, biking, running, and lifting/stretching.

Weekly Training Goals

  • Swim 3x a week (15min)
  • Run 3x a week: 1 long run, 1 interval run, and 1 tempo run
  • Bike 2x a week: 1 long outdoor and 1 on the indoor trainer
  • Strength Training 2x: squats, deadlifts, bench, and press
  • Foam roll and stretch daily

Bye Bye Bike

Well the used Cervelo P3 turned out to be a size 56cm, the fitter at Fort Worth Cycling broke the news to me and said he couldn't make it work.  I was immediately upset, but felt I got a good deal when I bought it.  So I listed on eBay for 5 days and it sold for just over $2k...very disappointing.

In the meantime, I picked up a 2012 Cervelo P2 in a size 61cm from Richardson Bike Mart.  David Jones fit me to it.  On Sunday I went for a ride with a friend from church who is training for a Half Ironman in Galveston in April.  He was faster, but I tried my best to keep up.  We knocked out 17.5 miles together and I'm not sore from it.  It was windy and I almost got knocked over from gusts several times.

Gotta roll with the punches...

I just need to Tri harder!

Yesterday I picked up a bike, a 2008 Cervelo P3.  It's a sweet ride, all carbon, came with ZIPP wheels and a SRM power meter, helmets, shoes, wetsuit, all sorts of stuff to race with.  The guy was 6'2" and did Ironman AZ a couple years back.

To do:

  • Get bike fit to me
  • Get bike tuned up
  • Make Appt to work with PT on my ankle
  • Figure out training for Cowtown 10k and Rock and Roll Dallas 1/2 in March
  • Set up appt to learn to swim with Coach Bob
