Training for a new season!

OK, 2008 is long gone. It was a productive season and it is time to think about 2009. Tax season is creeping up on me so training will be very mentally tough. I am ready for it! I have worked on a schedule that seems to be OK with my busy season.

January and 1/2 February

Monday - 430AM - 530 YWCA: Run
600AM - 645 YWCA: Swim


Tuesday - 430AM - 520 Bailey's: Push Pull workouts
530AM - Bridge Run

Wednesday - 430AM - 530 YWCA: Run
600AM - 645: Swim

Thursday - 430AM - 520 Bailey's: Push Pull workouts
530AM - Bridge Run

Friday - 430AM - 520 Bailey's: Push Pull workouts
530AM - Jane Macon Track: Run Drills and Calisthenics

I will also be doing some training on my bike and some lifts from home.

I will post my tax season training regimen in a later post.

HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!

Keeping up the Off Season

The tri season is over and a few months to relax and enjoy other areas of life is ahead of us! Do not forget about all the "fun", less exertive events we can participate in such as the local runs! Although off season is a time to relax and recover from the wear and tear of tri-season, it also is a time to train and continue to lower our lactic acid threshold! With that being said, a group of us will be meeting at the bridge on Tuesday and Thursday starting at 530am to train for the annual bridge run in February! http://search.active.com/?q=&start_date=&end_date=&l=brunswick%2C+ga+31525&p=25&channel=&mediatype=&commit=Search&tab=events this is the Active site for sign up or the day of race... This run is not listed yet on the site, but stay in touch! Also a jingle bell run will be hosted in December normally at the Mary Ross Park! The Veterans Day Run will be hosted at Mary Ross Park the weekend of Nov 15th! The Savannah Bridge Run is just around the corner! http://www.savannahriverbridgerun.com/ With all this fun going on all around us, we should be able to have plenty of run time!

Let's not forget about the Island Regimen! This has been a sucess for many of my friends! They love the outside competitive one on one nature of this style of workout... Tim and his group has a great event going!!! Check them out at http://www.islandregimen.com/.

Currently we are organizing a Multi Sport Club and Triathlete Team! I have listed a link to a website and soon a Facebook site for communication and event information! Stay in touch!

A Few Pics

This is the way to start a day! Watch the sun rise and then go for a brisk swim...

Little work from the Eye DR and rest from the trainer!
FAST and patriotic!



Mr. Stripes is the BAD MAN! He did not like the fact we could race and have some fun at the same time.

100% Every time.





What a good looking group to represent the GI

How much fun can one have?

As much as you allow yourself! The AmeliaMan Olympic was a blast! We all had a great time and finished the race! I will post pics with in a few days and post the finish times. Congrats to all who participated from GI.

Hats off to Robert Millican who finished the 70.3! GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT!

TIM! the new guy...

No matter what level of fitness you are at, all you need is a determination to get better. I normally train in the early AM. Beginning at 430 AM and lasting to around 700. These workouts normally have some running, lifting and sometimes swimming and biking. I will start placing my workout times on the site again soon. I will also encourage anyone else to post their workout times so we can train together.



Glad to have you in the GI!

Weekend of 9/20 - 21

A group of us will be going to Amelia Island this weekend - either Saturday or Sunday to bike the Ameliaman course and swim. Any takers? Times will be flexible.

Always training for the next!

Hello guys,
The internet has been down for a few days and thanks to TRI JUNKIE for keeping things going! I signed up at the Y for swim lessons in the AM. Coach Ken has given me lots of tips to become a better swimmer. It paid off at my last tri. I came out of the water 1 min and change better than last year. This is the training he has me doing for the Olympic.

Day 1) 3 x 550s
Day 2) 10 x 50s on 1:15
3 x 200s pull with long strokes
Day 3) 5 x 200s

In a couple of weeks he will give me another work load for the mile swim.

Still training in the AM at the Y, Bailey's and some from home. Currently Skeet and I are planning a trip to Amelia Sunday to ride the bike course and maybe a little open water swim. A group would be much more fun! Let me know!

The Vidalia Tri-Sprint and the Amalia Olympic will be the next two events.
