So here I am 220 pounds over a year after completing Ironman USA. I was around 180 back then. This time around my goal is 165 by the Ironman. Anyway, last year a literally hung my bike up and have not taken it down yet. The thing still has the number on it from the race. Look here it is. Check out the GU still in the Bento Box. My problem is that I train (never very consistantly) then when the race is over I do nothing. Usually the nothing only last for a few months. This time it lasted over a year. A full year of sitting around, not working out, eating like crap and drinking way to much beer. I love beer. It seems the older I get the two don't mix for me. Beer and training for triathlons that is.
So a few weeks ago I said enough is enough. I headed up to Lake Placid to watch the race then register for it on Monday. So there I was at 6am standing in line with 3000 other people. I couldn't believe it. Crazy!!!! But I got in. Now it begins.
The plan is to get going now. Start training slowly, start eating right, lose some weight and get back to a place where I can put in six hour rides and long runs. Right now I am not near that, but I'll get there. The idea behind this blog is to put it out there. Use it as a training log and as a reality check for me. I figure if I am putting it up on the net I damn well better train. Tomorrow. I'll start posting my training log and layout my plan.
