10k time trial - I thought this was a stabilizer week?

02.04.08

Welcome to stabilizer week, Howie style…..tonight at our Power Max class we did a 10K time trial.  I averaged 18.7 mph and finished in 19:50.  That is all I had tonight so I can’t be disappointed.  You see, my run was so pathetic when I started triathlon 4 seasons ago that its all I’ve concentrated on since starting my tri-venture.  The bike, well it’s really purgatory for me, it’s the thing I do between swimming and running.  So yes, I am pleased with my TT results.  Like I said, I used everything I had tonight so how can I be disappointed.

Just being able to ride the bike is something that I am so very grateful for, being able to afford my beautiful bike is something I am so grateful for and getting my ass kicked by my husband (who of course won the TT) is something that I am grateful as well.  His strength pushes me to push harder.  I’m telling you watch out for the beej, he’s a silent competitor and definitely a force that refuses to be beat without one hell of a fight.

Went to acupuncture this morning - treated my knees and right foot, I’ve been having some shooting pains over the last 24 hours between 4th and 5th toes.  Seems to be taken care of from the treatment today, they figured it was a neuroma (irritation, inflammation of nerves).  Feel pretty beat right now and fighting a bit of a sore throat.  Gotta nip that baby in the bud, no time for sickness.

Looking forward to a light workout and light day in my practice tomorrow.   Bonne nuit!

    Great TT baby…don’t worry about the time, all it is are numbers. it’s the effort you put out, and it really showed when you had that last climb to finish…pushing it out of the saddle, giving everything you got till you can’t breathe…satisfaction, right? I’m so proud of your training efforts, and how you’re able to handle it all in stride. A few more months, and you’ll be an Ironman…think of that!
