Week 5 is GONE!

By
Training Week #5 has come and gone and I can't help but recognize how extremely FAST time is going already! I participated in an indoor triathlon today. Did better than a month ago when I participated in the same triathlon and ENJOYED my treadmill run! (That is scary in itself but the new lower impact treadmills are a factor)

Today's stats:
10 min swim = 550yds
30 min indoor bike = 8.5miles
20 min treadmill run = 1.92 miles 

Pretty good times for me, swim is EXCELLENT for me so that was a good booster since I have been boycotting the pool for 2 weeks. 

The next thing I decided to do today was to try Aerial Yoga. I have been on a yoga journey for a while, I am quite in love with yoga, I made a pact with myself if I trained for a Full Iron I would make myself yoga at least twice a week to help prevent energy and help with my flexibility and stretching. Well, Aerial Yoga is a whole new world for me. There is nothing like hanging upside down from what looks to be your grandmother's big, heavy drapes. 

Loved this quote for today and everyday:

The Inaugural Crystal Coast Tri - FULL BOOTY

By
Full Booty race report. The weather reports all week had stated we would have substantial winds and possible thunderstorms. We had all of that. I had lots of friends doing this race. That was great and we shared some great pre-race time together.  This is also the first race we have had family (other than my youngest daughter) at. That was different!  I think I should share a little pre-race. Jill with the race knew me by first name in March. I need a lot of information to ease my mind and make my plan. She was wonderful. We had been told there would be certain nutritional items on the course but what we were told was very limited.  Soooo plan B was initiated.... Team SPAZ members (my sister and youngest daughter) were recruited for run stop #7 between mile 9 & 10. They were stocked with baby wipes, Kleenex, chicken broth, pickles, jelly beans and pickle juice. Now I feel better and have something to run too. Race day The Swim: 33 or so of us enter the water ...

What the HIVES?!?!?!?!??

By
2 weeks prior to the Divas Half Marathon I began to notice a strange redness during one of my workouts. Then I realized it was hives. The hives were only on my legs and mainly on my knees. I took some Benadryl that night. The next afternoon I had hives again. I went to the pharmacy and got some spray for the uncontrollable itching that you COULD NOT scratch or the result would be a fire like sensation. I also got an allergy medicine I could take during the day. The next day was a long bike. No hives, no hives, no hives, 10 pm HIVES. What the heck???? So I stopped using Voltarin. Still had hives after 3pm everyday. Some days worse than other days. Ugggghhhhhh So Friday I shave, no hives, and get ready for the beach trip (Divas Half Marathon Myrtle Beach). We get to the beach and I changed into pajamas and BAD HIVES. I notice they do not go above mid thigh. I don't shave above mid thigh.... Hummmmm I wonder. Well I didn't shave any all weekend. Got a PR for the Half Marathon. Bo...

TrivaVal's W.B. marathon report

By
The week before a big event your mind and body do some strange things. First your body begins to ache all over. Second you are an emotional nightmare of emotions and completely irrational. Third your​ mind is an uncontrollable barrage of must do this, must get this, do not forget this which is why the kitchen sink ends up being part of your luggage. Travel day finally arrives! Hopefully you have a huge vehicle because the kitchen sink is going in. Your mind has played out every possible "what if" scenario resulting in at least 3 bags of items being packed. The night before.... Now you would think you would like to get a great nights sleep on this night but it is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Hopefully you have had some sleep the week before because you will lie in bed miserable tossing and turning all night and may even have some very interesting or terrifying dreams. This particular race my dream was that we were being chased by a human size chicken during the race...
