Im a TRIATHLETE!!!

IT'S OFFICIAL I AM NOW A TRIATHLETE!!!

------------------------KC-TRI RACE RESULTS--------
Overall my first Tri experience was a blast. Everyone was so friendly and I think M.A rode by me when he was on his 2 loop of the bike. Correct me if I'm wrong. I will definitely continue in this sport. So here is my times. Wasn't very fast but I finished and now I have something to work towards. I did the sprint in case anyone was wondering.

Swim Time: 14:05
Swim Rate: 2:49
Tran 1: 4:12 ( Need to work on my tran time)
Bike Time: 1:03:34
Bike Rate: 11.7
Tran 2: 2:47
Run Time: 41:25 (Not very happy about this because I can usually run under 30 min for a 5K)
Run Pace: 13:22
Penalty: None

Finish Time: 2:05:59.07

Event Division: M2529
Overall Place: 402/420
Division Place: 21/21

My goal for the next race which is Topeka Tinman is to be definitely under 2 hours and not be last in my Division. This was a great first race and I finished which is an accomplishment and I know what I need to work on. A few of those hills were killers for me but overall a flat course.

Lot of running!!!

Ran a total of 18 miles this week for my milage. It was split into two 3 mile runs each lasting 32 min then tonight I ran 12 miles in 2:38 which is not as fast as I would like but for a training run not too bad. Still training for the KC Marathon in Oct can't wait. Finally got my medal for the 15K Bara Desert run. It looks pretty cool Ill try and get a pic up in the next few days. Heres to a new week of training. Night all!!!

And it begins!!!

Now that that feisco is over I can concentrate on training 100% Got one more week left before I hit my half marathon training run as far as the distance for the rest of this month on sat is my cross day so I will go back and fourth between swimming and riding on a spin bike in the gym here on post.

The only reason I'm glad I'm deployed is because I'm in Africa and as you know its hot year round so I can continuously train!!! So far the program I am on is training or the KC Marathon next year. You wonder how this is helping my triathlon. Well my running is what I struggle on a lot so most of my training is running so far I'm up to 10 miles on my long run. Since the last time we have talked I have done a few 5K's and came in about 31 min time frame did a 10k and did that in 1:06 and did one 15k and that was 1:42:30. Got a few more 5k left till I go home and when I go home my races will start. in March I'm doing the Ruckus 4 mile obstacle course. In April I will be doing the Rock the Parkway 1/2 Marathon in May I will be doing the Warrior Dash 5K obstacle course and the  KC Triathlon sprint distance in June no race yet In July I have the Shawnee Mission Triathlon Sprint Distance Aug and Sept no race yet and then the big race in Oct my first KC Marathon and to end it out a Turkey Trot in Nov. So it will be a busy year for me!!!! Till next time blog ya all later!!!

2 hard miles

Hello all after taking a day break after my PT test I am back to it. I ran 2 hard miles today at a slow pace to get back in it. My shins were bothering me very bad so this is why I did 2 istead of my usal 3. I also did 3 sets of 15 push ups and 3 sets of 20 situps. So here is to a great day of trainning. Till next time " Keep swimming,biking and running"!

I was going to do Swim Bike tommrow then run the next day and so on alternating days sat off but I have to switch it around due to the pool only open from 06-09 on Mon so Tommrow is running and Strength training! Ill blog about it after my busy day! Till then keep Swimming,Biking and Running!!!!

My New Adventure Begins

Here's to starting somthing new. I've been running for six years due to being in the military but I was never good and I always strugled on the run. Im curently deployed and needing to pass PT to re-up. Im to the point I should pass. On this deployment I have found my love of running and I actually love to run now and I can run 2-4 miles at a time. I have always been a good swimmer due to doing competive swimming in high school and I know how to ride a bike. So I decide that I will blog my training for my Sprint Tri next year and as I go I will be doing 5k's and I will blog about those too. So here is to a new blog about my Tri journey. I hope you join me in my journey. Till next time " Keep on Swimming,Biking and Running"
