Had a nice first week of triathlon training. I’m following a program off Training Peaks authored by Matt Fitzgerald, the same coach I used for IMAZ. This is an advanced Olympic distance program based on the weekly hours I thought I could give. Training Peaks now has an iPhone app, so I’m able to access my program anytime, anywhere. I get daily email reminders in addition to having access to my calendar at anytime.
You're probably asking yourself, “Where are the swim workouts?” Unfortunately, I don’t currently have access to a pool but I plan to remedy that in the coming week. I’m looking at the local YMCA as my first choice because it is approximately 3 miles from my house. I knew that these first couple of weeks would be a difficult start for me because my work schedule is crazy for the next two weeks. This week is our college’s Advisory Council meeting and Texas Exes Outstanding Teacher’s Awards Conference. On Saturday, I depart for New Orleans and the CASE FUSION Conference that I’m co-chairing. After introducing Mary Matalin and James Carville at our closing brunch, I fly back to Austin on February 23. I’m taking February 24-25 off work to decompress and get ready for my life to go back to pre-CASE FUSION madness.
I’m going to do my best to make at least a workout or two during the conference but I’ll definitely get back on track when I return.
Make it a GREAT week! Kia Kaha!
