Sunday Training Reflections

Yesterday's training session with my man friend went awesome. Started my day with Jack Johnson, Kona coffee and Triathlete Magazine's new issue. Swimming is becoming so much easier and I am not getting at discouraged. I was crazy proud of myself and with 4 weeks out from the first race of the season, I know I will continue to improve from here.

We also went out for a bike ride outside...finally!!! The snow is pretty much melted so the sidewalks/roads are pretty clear. Totally forgot to bring a wind resistant jacket with me, it was a wee bit chilly. But other than that it went great. The sun was shining full force and this killer spring weather is just awesome!

As always I rocked my Oakley Women Forsake's and my Rona Fitted Jacket. I just love that piece! Excited to train today! Temp sprints at the track! Perform Beautifully guys, I am!

Running Intervals

I woke up at 6:15 this morning and continued to lay in bed thinking about my morning run. I am always visually thinking about my runs, where I'm going to go, what hills will be challenging and WWLCD...What Would Linsey Corbin Do?

At 7:00 I started a load of laundry, cleaned up house a little bit and watched a tutorial on how to make French press coffee. My parents live in Hawaii and the last time my mother flew up here she brought me some yummy Kona coffee, the BEST in the world! I fueled up with a cup or two and busted out my the new issues of Inside Triathlon and Triathlon Plus for some morning run inspiration.

Triathlon Plus had an entire section dedicated to running and professional tri tips for it from Mirinda Carfrae, Mark Buckingham, and Paula Findlay. I visually pictured myself utilizing all their advice and off I went out to do sprint intervals. I started out with a 5 min warm up followed by 1 min fast sprints with 2 min steady state running x10. Then finished off with a 5 min cool down and stretching. It was tough and in some areas mind over body definitely came into effect. I'm happy with my performance but know I can improve. Reading those mags this morning definitely helped with my motivation and I was able to really focus on good tri running technique.

Along for my intervals were my amazing white polished Oakley Women Foresake sunnies, Splits59 Loren Bra, Splits59 Rona Fitted Jacket in black and Splits59 Dusty Fitted Capri. I love looking and feeling good when I workout...but I'm pretty sure it was that Kona Coffee and awesome tri article that had me performing beautifully. ;)

Sunday Training Session

Today's training session was a steady fast run with hill work. It was quite taxing actually. We went out at about 8:00pm for the run, which is a later than usual training session for me.

It took me a good 10 minutes to find my mojo...and even then it wasn't 100%. I train hard and I train to compete and win. Today I really had to focus on mind-body connection to keep pushing myself further even when I could feel a side stitch coming on or fatigue. I kept pushing because I'm sure that is what my competition is doing. Pushing themselves harder, faster and stronger. I am committed to my triathlon training and know I can be a top competitor. With that comes the confidence to keep going and of course have fun.

Even though today's session was a bit taxing I had my killer swag that made me feel awesome. I wore my Oakley Women Work It Capri, Oakley Women Elongate Tank and my Splits59 Rona Fitted Run Jacket. Oh yeah can't forget my awesome Foresake sunnies from Oakley too.

Performing Beautifully is my triathlon goal, and its awesome to have flawless training gear to wear for the easy training sessions or the hard!

Long time, no blog!

It has been a crazy amount of time since I have made a blog post. So many of my training choices have changed!

I fell in love with triathlon training and have signed up for 4 triathlons this summer! I also have numerous 5k's I'll be racing, 16 mile trail/mountain race and a half-marathon. I am stoked. I definitely still plan on doing a full marathon, but it looks like It will be a long while until that happens. Right now, tri training has become my obsession. I've been geeking out hardcore watching triathlon and Ironman motivation videos on You Tube, and have been following triathlete pro's Linsey Corbin and Mirinda Carfrae's every move so far in this early tri season. Linsey is definitely my inspiration. 

I have gear from De Soto Sport and Oakley that I'll be using for my first race, along with my trusty Oakley sunglasses. 

It should be an awesome competitive season and I am totally looking forward to it!!!
