A New Year...

So...the holidays are over...phew! Now I can get back to training. Yes, I, along with most of my teammates (thankfully), took most of the holidays off to unwind and relax a bit. And I felt the effects of this decision on Saturday morning...the 5 mile climb up Mandeville took me about 8 minutes longer than usual...and my heart rate? We aren't going there.... But it is good to be back. This week is a build week, so...the hours are a bit longer, and the workouts getting a bit harder. 167 days to Ironman...may sound like a lot of time, but there is a lot of work to be done between now and then. Thanks for coming along for the ride. 2007 should be pretty cool.
