I was starting to get great results, but I just could keep that going with the tri training (and I'm only doing sprint this year), and six hours of sleep--due to work and school commitments. So, I had to dial the strength training back until I can hit the base period again this fall.<BR/><BR/>hakhakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08896324510960012602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17628635.post-69121238906633628802007-06-22T08:34:00.000-07:002007-06-22T08:34:00.000-07:00Oh, dude, I am SO with you!!!

I seriously almost fell asleep during a measly 1 hour trainer ride on Wednesday night. It was a complete struggle just to pedal the damn bike, let alone try to get my HR up to where it needed to be. I counted every single minute, yet I didn't get off. Or even fall off when I started to doze. I'm terribly proud of myself.<BR/><BR/>Tiredathlon it is!Andra Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061332679414246811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17628635.post-55788365870550060652007-06-22T05:21:00.000-07:002007-06-22T05:21:00.000-07:00Respect!
