A long way back

Foot surgery Dec 3rd 2010.

I figured I needed a coach to get back to triathlon training safely and without re-injuring myself. I hired Bill @ Camelback Coaching late January and have received 6 months of training plans from him since. Six months...two of base 1 building, two of base 2 building, and 2 of base 3 killer hard workouts. February 7 through race day, August 14th, have all been mapped out for me...and I have followed his plan.

How do I feel....I feel like I am in the best shape of my life. Last month I was tired all the time and grumpy. This month I have had an excitement that I haven't had before. Probably because it is my last month before my first 1/2 Ironman. I am ready. I have done the work. I am going to fully enjoy my last rest week of Bill's plan and next week is some short sprints in all disciplines. Then...off to Seattle with my guy.

Thanks to my support group...you know who you are.
