I haven’t been feeling very posty lastly. I’ll be going through my day saying that I should post on a number of different subjects, but ultimately I’ll forget or procrastinate and post them days later.

Lets see. Last Sunday, a friend of mine came in from Madison Wisconsin to swim in a local masters meet here. His goal was to break the age group state records that exists here in Minnesota. I had to leave a little early, but I do think he was successful, breaking four for four records or something like that. He’s doing probably a quarter the training that we were in college and he came close to setting PRs in all his individual times. Pretty insane. To balance it all out though, there was some crazy fast 50 year old guy who ended up beating him in a couple of races that he did too. So while he may be the age group state record holder, he still got beat by someone almost twice his age. :) Anyway, it was great seeing him while he was here. I hope to be able to meet up with him when I’m in Madison in September.

Sunday night, I cowed out. My girlfriend treated me to Outback for dinner. I had a half order of cheese fries, french onion soup, a loaf of their bread, mashed potatoes, and a nice juicy 20 oz porterhouse. Nothing like a 4000+ calorie meal to finish off the weekend. My weight is doing ok. This morning, I’m weighed in at 153.5. My realistic goal weight for IMMoo is 150, so I’m in perfect striking range for that.

Training resumed again yesterday after taking Sunday off. I had a swim, bike, and run session yesterday each an hour in duration. I think I will be doing the Spirit of Racine Triathlon this coming weekend. The goal is to just complete the race at Ironman pace and not shell myself afterwards. I need to be able to get right back into my program after finishing the 1/2. I’ll probably keep things nice and light until then.

That’s about all. There hasn’t been much to my life recently. Lots of training, eating, sleeping, and watching the Tour de France. Looks like Armstrong is well on pace to getting his sixth win. GO LANCE! :)
