End Of A Season

My triathlon season has ended. I battled through a bad injury, shinsplints and a new baby. I took the season for what it was worth.

I am in the middle of two solid weeks off to rest some injuries. After that, it will be a light week of upper body strength training. This will be followed by a light week of total body strength training.

I am doing this to give my ankle and shin splints some solid time to heal.

Once this period is over, I am starting a mix of P90X and Insanity. I will be replacing some of the moves with new ones I learned during my 2 month stay at physical therapy. These exercises will incorporate more core and balance while still giving my muscle a quality workout.

I will post the schedule soon and point out what moves I have changed.

In Good Health,

To Tri To X

Things have been crazy over the past few weeks. Lots of outdoor house work, the new baby, etc.
I had my first of two triathlons a couple of weeks ago and given the conditions, it went well. It was rainy, hot and the trail run was a hilly mudpit. Even with all that, it was fun. I love triathlons in Lake Geneva.

Now all I have left is my 1/2 Ironman at the end of the month. I feel like I am not as prepared as I should be, but with the new baby and the ankle injury I am taking it for what it is. I'll do my best and forget the rest...

This leads me to my next topic. I am missing my P90X workouts and cannot wait to get back. With all this triathlon training, I haven't had a chance to really do any strength training. One more month to another hybrid p90x routine.

In good health,
