goal attained
I have found that there is nothing, nothing, like training for a triathlon. I am competing in two this summer and training is kicking my butt. Legs! Holy cow, my legs. Swimming (legs), biking (legs), running (forearms…jk…legs); weight training (you guessed it, legs)! I ran a 5k today. I ran a total time of 19:32. What I am most proud about though is that my first 2miles were completed in 12:00, which is a goal that I set for myself when I first began posting here. I am going to Steak and Shake for a reward. I am still boxing, which is awesome. I know there is this MMA fad about, but I find that boxing, and its strategy compared to choking or landing one good punch is much more satisfying. Anyone really looking at pushing themselves should pick up a copy of triathlete magazine and get to it. Stizzy-und

This is it man, next 22nd a 12 km run.
The terrain is not an easy one (not in my Costa Rica) start from Canal 7 (TV Channel 7) in La Sabana, to a down hill for almost 2 km to Los Anonos bridge, then up, to Escazu another slow hill down to Guachipelin, then a hard hill to El Alto de las Palomas and down again for almost 4 km to the goal. This Sunday is my last long training of only 17.8 km I choose to train this time up hill mainly to increase strength and speed. Intervals this Tuesday and then rest for the race.
