First Hurdle On My Path to IMTX


Well today I hit my first hurdle on my way to Ironman Texas.

My 1 year old decided that he needed to wake up at 2am last night and with that the wife and I also woke to take care of the poor guy.  Still no clue as to what was wrong with him but better that than something actually being wrong.

With that and a couple other minor things I did not make it to the pool for my second/last pool session of the week.  I did however get in 15min using bungee cords working on dryland swim drills I got from Coach Troy see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVUBIXi5JM0&lr=1.

This is not a picture of me this morning but a pic of Conrad Stoltz the Xterra beast but this is one of the exercises I did.



I think I will start adding this more often to help with my technique and strength in the water.

So, I might not have cleared the hurdle but I also did not fall on my face. Something is always better than nothing.

I am however going to nail my interval run today to help make me feel better.

  1. I wouldn't call missing one workout a "hurdle", that's life! You got stronger mentally from functioning on less sleep ; ) lol
