This week I withdrew from the 2013 Ironman Texas race in the Woodlands. I do not regret it yet, I will on May 18th 2013....and likely when I turn 40, but for now I'm thrilled to not have to Swim, Bike, and Run daily.
I'm enjoying lifting more, time with family, and more focus with my work. Praise God that I have my health and am surrounded by loved ones.
Adios!

Long Bike Ride
This morning I hit a 42 mile bike ride, I had planned on doing 50m. At mile 18, I broke the 2 screws that hold my aero elbow pad on my right arm. I decided to cut the ride short.
After the ride, I met the wife at the Y for a pool swim. I did 1200m focusing on short distance and technique.
With each long workout, I feel more prepared for Ironman Branson 70.3. I'm praying for health and staying injury free the last 9 weeks leading up to the big race.

T & W Training Recap
Swimming
Tuesday I went for a 25 min swim, started alternating between using the pull buoy and just regular front crawl swimming at the 25m pool at the YMCA. I did 50m, then 100m, then set off for 150m...which is a stretch for me already as I'm usually tired by the end of the 150m set. Well I just kept going....went 300m. I was pretty exhausted but that was only the 2nd time ever that I've done 300m straight.
Strength Training
Tues - before my swim I worked up to 225x4 on flat bench...nothing special, just trying to hold some strength
Wed - spin bike for 5 min, then leg press, squats, lunges, sit ups, back extensions and calf raises (30 min)
Running
22 min pushing our 3 months old in the jogging stroller...was slow
Tomorrow is a rest day
