I hope to eventually complete a full distance Ironman.
Personal: I go to TCU and am a member of the TriFrogs team here. I just started training for triathlons in August 2010. I ran track throughout high school, but always hated long distance until this summer. Something inside me snapped and I found out that I love it! Unfortunately, I got a stress fracture due to overtraining for a half marathon I was aiming to do in December, but I should be back on my feet soon! In the meantime, I've significantly improved in the biking and swimming! Stay tuned to watch me grow! Favorite Blogs: |

| This was a brick workout. I swam 100 yds for a warmup, did a 1400 yds until 5 minutes before cycling class, jumped out of the pool and practiced transitioning. In cycling we started with a cardio lung/leg workout and were on the bikes alternating climbing and sprinting with short rests between. Overall the swim took about 26 minutes, the cardio lasted 15 minutes, and the bike lasted 45 minutes. | Comments(13) |

| I got on the elliptical this evening and did 10 miles in 61:58 with a 6:12 ppm. The resistance was about a 5, but I wanted to keep the pace quick. I got off and immediately went to weights for an hour, the usual full-body routine. The ankle is feeling really good! I hope the therapist lets me run again soon! | Add Comment |

I had to make up my own cycling workout today because class was cancelled for bad weather day. I ended up using one from Spinervals. It was a 50 minute workout with 6x20 intervals of speed, grinders, and climbs. It also included a 3x4 minute tempo work.

| This was my weights/ running day. Although since my orthotics still haven't come in it had to be elliptical. I only did 4 miles because I was short for time and my legs were really tired for some reason. I couldn't keep my normal cadence up on the machine. I ended up with 4 miles at a 6:41ppm with an overall total of 26:44. Lame. I went down to the weight room after that for an hour and did my normal routine. I felt better after weights, so maybe I was just sore. | Add Comment |

Went on a GORGEOUS bike ride at Trinity trails today. The weather was finally nice enough to get off the stationary and it was brisk, but fun. The sun set by the time I got back, though and I have to say it took awhile for my poor toes to thaw. Total: 28miles Avg: 14.3 mph Time: 1:56:31 | Add Comment |

| This was my off day. Normally I take Sunday off, but I was busy all day and couldn't make it to the gym, and I knew I'd have time on Sunday. | Add Comment |

| Swim Set: 3x100 free, kick, pull warm up 1x150 free 1x1800 free...... timed- 36:30 This was my second major distance swim. I swim miles all the time doing intervals, but for triathlons and such you have to have the endurance and I hadn't tested that out very much. I'm pretty pleased with the result. The time is nothing beautiful, but the fact that I finished without even being out of breath tells me that come race day (or another time trial) I can push a lot harder. I'm impressed with how much I've improved since I started and could barely swim 200 without dying. I think it has a lot to do with finding your stroke rhythm and learning when to breath. I'm finally getting comfortable in the water! | Add Comment |

| I had to take today off. While I could have made it to the gym before work, I was running off of about 4 hours of sleep and didn't think the workout would be worth the time since I was so exhausted. I took a 2 hour nap instead! | Comments(1) |

I did cycling class this morning for 50 minutes and then a mini abs session afterward. I was still feeling a little tired and didn't get to the cadence I would have liked. I go later this morning to physical therapy and will be getting my orthotics. The doctor said I should be able to run once I get those in, so let's cross our fingers.

| Today was elliptical day. I told myself I was going to shoot for 10, but I kept a 6:04 pace for 5 miles and decided to get off and stretch and get water. After that, I decided I didn't want to overkill it since I went so fast and called it a day. Total: 5 miles, Avg.: 6:04ppm, Time: 30:30 | Comments(2) |

| I did the elliptical again today. I wanted to test my speed and see if I could improve from yesterday. Usually I do ellipticals Tuesday/Thursday and the second day I'm significantly slower. I wanted to find out if it was just a mental thing. It usually is. I did 6 miles and ended up averaging a 5:39 pace. Finished in 34:05. Again, I'm not sure how ellipticals translate in running terms, but I was pleased with this big improvement, especially after another PR the day before. | Add Comment |

| I had to do this work out early because I had work all day and then planned on driving down to Austin for the Livestrong Half Marathon to see my dad the next day. I was going to get up at 6, but couldn't roll out of bed until 6:30, so my workout was cut short. I only got in 12 miles, but kept a pretty good pace most of the way.

| I did a brick workout today. Started in the pool at 7:20 with a quick 150 warm-up, swim, kick, pull. Then, jumped right into a race pace swim 1450 yards and finished in 26:53. Straight to cycling class for 50 minutes with a plyometrics workout to top it off. I was beat at the end! Love workouts that make me feel like I'm working toward something and not just going through the motions! | Add Comment |

First day back! I felt great and didn't want to stop after what felt like a measly half a mile. But hey, everybody has to start somewhere! I was supposed to "jog" it, but my watch said at the end I was running a 7:49 pace. Well, guess that's my jog! Anyway, I'm sure distance will slow me down as I progress past the baby steps. Feels great to be back again though! Went to the gym and got on the elliptical. I only did 2 miles because my legs were tired. Did a 6:30ppm. Lifted weights for an hour afterward. | Comments(1) |

| WOOO! It's all about the baby steps! I ran my first mile today! I didn't want to stop, it felt so great. Crazy how fit I am, but my stupid legs just aren't allowed to work as hard as they want to! Anyway, I did a a "slow" mile and finished in 8:05. Easy breezy. |

| Long swim workout today. 3x150 free, kick, pull 1x1800 swim (finished in 34:00) 3x150 pull, kick, free I wasn't too tired after this, so I really tried to push it for the last 100 yds. I was out of breath after that but only for a minute or so. Getting better at swimming!! | Add Comment |

| So I did a triple workout today, probably not a great idea because none of them were at max. effort. But now that I'm running again, my runs can only happen every other day and I don't want to skip those, plus MWF is usually my swim/cycle day. So, I swam in the morning, ran in the afternoon, and went to spin class in the evening. True triathlete style. During my swim, I did have a friend helping me with form so while it wasn't a sprint or distant workout, it was still very productive. Swim Set: 1x 450 warm up 3x150 swim, kick, pull 1x450 cool down *working on new techniques at an easy pace Running: 1.5 miles at a 9:14 ppm in 13:51. I ran with my roommate who like to keep around a 10 minute pace. It was good because I helped push her a little harder for the 5k she's training for and she slowed me down since I'm so prone to just let loose and go! I had cycling class tonight too. We spun for about 45 minutes and then did plyo's. By the end of it I was completely dead. My legs aren't uses to so many different muscles being used in one day! But hey, that's why collegiate nationals isn't until April, right? |
