Athletes Adjust.

Alright!

We are on our bike ride to Huntington. We are gonna bike ride to Huntington, then get in a little 3 mile run, and then bike back. We might get a beer and the half way point.  Don't tell anybody, but uh... Ya its a beautiful Saturday.  Not to much sun out there and uh the light training starts to we are excited!

What is up out there all you Stephen and Steven followers! So in that last clip feeling pretty good and um my version of this training is going to be a little different then Steven's.  You see in the post that he made everything was all great. We bike there, we ran and we biked back.  Well for me, once we got there I can feel it a little in my legs. They were starting to wear.  and then to get off the bike and to do that run transition for the first time was uh pretty interesting.  I could feel in my quadriceps um everything was just tighter.  Its different to go from that one sport to another. Even tho I've, its about an hour bike ride, so even tho Ive run for an hour before and then still ran on the legs, switching sports was really interesting.  Umm, from there we finished up the 3 mile run and uh what happened next.

Alright, so we are on our way back.  We did 12 miles down to huntington and then 3 mile run in huntington.  We didn't get subway, I mean we got subway. We didn't get beers. There is a pretty nasty headwind. I don't know if you can hear that but I hope you can hear me.  But we are on our way back and my $85 Target Bike is no much assistance so ya. Pretty humbling ride on the way back to Long Beach. Check in with you later.

Alright, so we made it back, obviously which is good, but after I filmed that clip.  Its really interesting what happened next.  it took me about ten minutes on reflecting on what I had said and I thought about it.  I actually felt really bad. I had a huge sense of remorse the whole ride home and a shift my attitude because I was tired, like i said there was a huge headwind and it was a tough ride.  Getting on a bike and I don't really... I wasn't really cycling before this ride and we jumped on it and did 25 mile bike ride so I was blaming it on the bike, but thats not what you do as an athlete. Athletes adjust and so from here on out I won't be blaming anything on the equipment.  Its all whats going on right here with my body so if I can't go as fast as I want, then I need to get stronger. Im lucky to have a bike, a swim suit and a pair of running shoes to even be able to train for this sport so ya its not a $2,500 road bike or tri bike but its what I have for now and ya know, Im looking into upgrading but for now it what I have and what I have to work with so No Excuses.

We are going to train through this and get stronger and use what we have. Thats pretty much all we have for you.  So we made it back and I'm feeling a little bit sore. its the next day that I am filming this part so a little bit of soreness in my legs, but for the most part feels pretty good.  It was a good workout, so this week I will be focusing a lot on upper body.  Pull ups Push ups, that kinda thing because I have a tough mudder coming up in 2 weeks.   I am going to try and get in the pool I'm going to say 3 times.  So try and jump in the pool 3 times and just work on form even if its for 15 minutes and check back in with you guys later!
