Botzie’s Training Blog

What a workout! I haven’t been to class since the spring. It is getting colder in MN and I will be putting the bike on the trainer shortly. I am wondering if I had some interference or it was a fluke, but I had my max HR at 222. I have never been above 205 before. I will have to research and keep tabs with my HRM. I have been running and biking but have done no swim. I am planning on going to a Total Immersion Swim school in February or March.

I put my last time in before my first official 5K. I have never entered just a 5K. I have completed a Duathlon and a Triathlon but I have never entered a 5K. Being a good catholic, here are my other fitness confessions. I hate running. I have never experienced that runners high. I tend to gravitate to shorter events. I like sprinting, or playing basketball or doing something while I am running. But running to just run? I have never got that. My next confession, during the duathlon or triathlon I have never made it the whole 5K without walking. I am usually good for about 2 miles. I can take a short 30 second to a minute break and I can usually finish. I hope to get over that hump on Friday. I am running with a buddy, so I hope that will help and can finish without walking. That is my goal. I have bigger goals for 2009 that involve longer running, so I need to get over this. Will report results this weekend.

Wow! I didn’t like the scale today. I am okay with my weight starting with a 20something and would like it to be a 19something. I am a Clydesdale by nature but 210 has got to go…….

My favorite bike shop, Relolution(check out my blogroll), has group rides on Tue and Thurs. Tuesdays are for the fanatics and Thursdays are for the fanatic-wannabees. It was my first time and it was a lot of fun. We had a flat tire in the group and I got to watch some pros in action. We traveled some decent hills in rural Minnesota. Anyone in central MN I would recommend this ride highly. I hope to graduate to the fanatics sometime next year….
