Bike Accident
Monday, June 23, 2008
Tour de lousiana
Stage 1: A 3 mile TT- 7:53 It was flat and fast. I averaged 25 the first mile, 23 the second and 22.5 the third. My legs hurt.
Stage 2: Was Saturday afternoon. It was a 32.2 mile road course consisting of two loops. It started off well, it was cloudy and not to hot. After mile one it was now raining, alot. So the rest of the course was done in the rain. No fun. There were several accidents. One took up the whole rode like two deep. The only way I made it through was to squeeze by and pray that nobody moved. Luckily I made it through unharmed. However I lost the front pack and it took more than I had to catch up to them. So I settled in with another group and we tried to work together to finish the race. Luckily the pack worked well together and we did a good pace.
Stage 3: 35 min Crit: It was a .6mile classic 4 turn crit. The one snafu was that half of the course was on uneven pavement with loose gravel and whatnot. Needless to say it wasn't much fun. I hung on to the pack for about 10 min which made me happy.
Over all the race was a lot of fun. I look forward to more racing outside of collegiate.

Summer Camp
So my life up to this point. I have done a couple of races.
San Diego Marathon. Horrible time dressed as Elvis it was fun, but worst time ever. Not the best course in the world. It was however put together really well.
Tejas Tri-I got 2nd in my age group. I hadn't been in the water since last october did pretty well in the swim, the bike was a little slower than I would of liked but oh well. The run felt really bad, I ran the marathon the sunday before so I didn't have the extra gear. I got passed by the winner of my age group at mile one on the run. So I was leading the whole time pretty much. It was fun I always enjoy that race.
That is good enough for now, Chau I promise that I will try and keep it updated some more.

Disney Marathon

Disney
So today I loaded up on a plane with my mother and headed for Disneyworld. I am spending 6 days and 5 nights and during that time I will be running the Disney Marathon. Many people might ask how you might run this marathon since you are so out of shape. Well to be perfectly honest I am not sure, I did Houston last on just a little more training but I didn't have the triathlon season before. So I think that I will be okay, it will definitely be a mental game; which I enjoy because I am good at those when it comes to a choice to quit or not because I don't know how to quit. So back to the story I spent the whole day walking around Disney, I went to the magical kingdom and rode Space Mountain, then I went to Animal Kingdom and rode some cool rides. So that is enough for this morning. Stay tuned more to come.

Brazil 2009
At the request of Jane.
So I have decided to do an ironman. Last season was my first triathlon season and I did all lengths except an ironman. I was planning on trying to go to the Olympics in 2012 but with the changes that the USAT made I don't think that I will be able to get into pro racing in enough time to qualify. So in its place I have to decided to do an ironman. For those that don't know an ironman is 2.4mile swim, 112 mile bike 26.2 mile run. It is mentally and physically draining. I look forward to doing this just because I want to test myself mentally mostly to prepare me for my new job that I want to undertake. Most people know that I want to be a doctor, which has changed because I would be bored. I really just want the knowledge that a Doc has. My new job is a Combat Rescue Officer, they are an elite special force of the United States Air Force. They training is some of the toughest in the military. So by doing an ironman it will prepare me for some of the rigors of that training. So Joe one of my UH team members wanted to do an ironman and picked Brazil. I think Brazil is a great choice. Mostly because you get to treat it as a vacation! So I will start training really long distance in August. It would be nice to qualify for Kona at the same time but we will see how that works out. So if you want to do an ironman in a year and half then let me know and we will all sign up for Brazil. So to all that are training happy training.

Running
So as many of you may know running is not my favorite thing in the whole world. I enjoy running to run. But since I am so competitive I like to run fast, and that hurts. As I am a human I do not like to hurt. So I understand that it takes time to get fast and not hurt. So I work on it. And since this Triathlon season was my first it has left in really good shape. So I am able to run further and faster than ever. Which is really nice I still have much work to do to get to people like Liam or even Kelly. So I troud out and run listen to my music and think about my life. So here is the runners may your run be a beacon of hope and sanity in a crazy world. Hope all are ready for Christmas.

Lack of Emotion
So I have been kind of in a training lull and it is rather depressing. I have had to be in slow training just because my left knee has been bothering me. But that is all fixed now I just have been lacking desire to get out and train. Most of it is because of become used to lethargy. But I will wind my way up slowly and hopefully get back into speed. It is also hard because I really don't have to much planned as far as races. So here is to training and such. And for Jane's sack I will try and update this more.
