Another tough day...but it's amazing how quickly the body adapts to new levels of stress, although the landscaping work has been fairly mellow, it's my wife having to deal with a sink full of dishes after work while i'm out running that doesn't adapt so well (no, no, i'm kidding...sort of...)!
3100 yards in pool, work, and then 58 min run with 38 at threshold intensity, which for me, is the fastest pace I could theoretically hold for an hour or so...
I also want to address what has been termed "a bitterness" about money and triathlon. Yes, it is my choice to train 20-25 hours a week, no one is forcing me to do that. I just wanted to lay out in a creative manner what I deem to be a pitfall of the sport, and to use my own experiences as a cautionary tale. There are always ways to make things work out if you really want them to. Like anything else in life, there is good, and there is bad, you just take advantage of the good and learn from the bad.
I am a firm believer that where you are and what you are doing is exactly how it's supposed to be and couldn't have happened any other way, and if you are always moving in a positive direction in your mind than that will manifest itself outside of your mind in the real physical world.
Brick ( bike/run) tomorrow, hoping for no wind, although it is colorado in february so we'll see...
