More like how bob does NOT train blog!
As I am sure some of you have noticed, I have not posted anything in a month. Well there is good reason for this. I haven’t trained in a month! I have been running every once in a while and I get on my bike when I can but for the past month I have not trained at all. This basically takes all that prep work I did and throws it out the window. There are several semi decent reasons for this lack of training.
AC – we went to Atlantic City a couple of weeks ago and in order to pay for it I worked mass overtime and did not go home until after dark every night.
Wedding/Move - the next weekend we moved into our new apartment and my buddy Austin got married. So between the bachelor party, the wedding and trying to set up an apartment I did not train. (Although carrying 10, 120 pound boxes up three flights of stairs I would almost argue cross training)
House sitting while getting settled in – I am house sitting this week for my parents while at the same time trying to create some structure and organization of my apartment so I am running back and forth between my place and my parents.
So what does this equate to, well bob being a big fat slacker! (yes I did just refer to myself in the third!) I now have 4 months before my race, and right now I see my idea of finishing around 12 hours flying out the window very very quickly. This month is going to be a proverbial / actual boot camp of training/ideological review of this upcoming race.
Just a small change of subject………………
I have decided that after getting my degree I am going to move to Australia for a minimum of 5 years.
Why?
Why the hell not?
They have great weather, great triathlon community, 2 Ironman competitions a year, and New Zealand is right across the way and they have some of the best skiing in the world! The only downside, GREAT WHITE SHARKS! GREAT BIG GREAT WHITE SHARKS! Hey no place is perfect right?
