Great Road Ride, a little bit of intensity.  Some great pics of leaking pipes around gas wells that don't have vapor recovery units.  Also, some great pics of open air frac ponds. Took 30 minutes for me to get a metallic taste in my mouth.  1.5 hours for the taste of blood to be in the back of my throat and 2 hours for the base of my cerebral cortex to feel like it's going to burst. I have an idea: O and G Bike Rally Tour We will get a permit for

Just got done with sprints.  That was totally awesome.  My first official workout with intensity post jaw break.  Going to swim later, let's see the workout:  I'm going to try to do the full 3k.  Ouch!  I will stop at 2.5 if I have to.  I only got in 2k the other day, so that will be well, an increase that I generally wouldn't recommend my athletes to do.  I'm going to give it my all and see what I have.  So a minimum 2.5, which is my largest swim

Warming up is both an art and science. It is going to fall somewhere in between 10-20 minutes w/ 5 to 7 minutes rest before you race. It may be FREE it may be Scripted. It may be an advantage not to warm up; depending on the weather conditions. If it is cold or hot, it may be better to keep yourself warm in a car, or keep yourself cool with ice. The most important aspect of a warm up: is to be flexible. Most people think a trainer is best: I think ROLLERS are best; Either way there is no

Tuesday: went to L.B.Houston and  cranked out a lap while the monkeys were at swimming.  In 2 months, I forgot how to ride a mountain bike.  It was a good lap and exactly my weakness, going through the trees.  It took me 45 minutes to do 7.5 miles.  It wasn't race pace, it gives me a goal.  Ride 2 laps in an hour.  That will get me flowing through the Texas Trees at a pretty fast pace.  Of course, I was a little scared, had two dabs, mostly because I

Ran 3.5  No speed records, actually slow as  molasses in 31 minutes, with my Vibram 5 fingers,  kinda tough to walk again today, getting better. Swam: 2150.  Great workout Thanks Coach Tom: 600 warm up: 300 swim/200 pull/100 kick 10 x 50 on 1 minute 8 x 75 = 50 moderate/25  kick sprint 2 x 125 = 50 moderate/50 moderate hard/25 sprint 200 cool down. Coach Tom can be found at Fountain of Youth  Masters, Flower Mound and Irving Masters.  He's the best, Thank You.  or if you just want your kids to get faster: Irving Swimmers;

Of course, multi tasking.  Looking over Kat's Xterra 12 week program she won being the South Cup Champion.  Yes, the South Cup Champion.  There are definitely some flaws to this.  Primarily no rest weeks.  And with life there's truly few people who have 14 hours to train.  I've gotta figure out who this guy is.  It's a nice program, and you will get faster.  His rest weeks are full of intensity.  It's half the training, I just don't think his cookie cutter program fits all.  That's the trouble with some

6.6.10 I love Sundays, I love life, I love doing different things.  This morning I wanted to go help out a friend, Terra Firma Promo and a client, Rich Szecsy so my alarm went of at 4 AM.  I showed up just in time.  Rich had just given up on eating, or drinking anything but water.  I brought my usual nummy nums:  watermelon, big hit, didn't bring near enough.  Moldy poops, otherwise known as 'caveman bars': dates, honey, cashews and coconut, espresso, he didn't like that too much and chicken, that
