I am stuck in purgatory. This almost new house being done thing is going to kill me. Erik and I worked really, really hard over the weekend. He feels like he got work done, I feel like we got a lot accomplished. That with the weekends training is making for a very tired Monday.

Masters Sunday- I skipped it. Had a huge list of stuff to get done for the house. I don't regret it. I am also very sore from the ski on Saturday and didn't think I would do well at swimming anyway.

Side thought...
So, I have the November photo of the 2014 Men of Triathlon calendar on my bench at work. Long story how it got there, but it is the Ben Hoffman month. So, Justin came in the other day and was scowling at it. Asking why it is there. (Many men do not like the Men of Triathlon calendar, especially him) I said for inspiration or motivation or something of the sort. Then I said I was going to win the World Championship someday. He said "the chances of that are the chances of me winning the lottery." First, it got me thinking. I feel sorry for him that he can't understand why that would be inspiring. Second, I am inspired. That photo reminds me to think, dream, hope that I have greatness. I really do have greatness and can always keep getting greater. This year is going to be great. I have secret hopes of getting on the podium at St. George. (just so we are on the same page). I don't go into the race with that as the goal, but it would be pretty sweet to have a race that placed me there.
Open my soul thought....
I am going to be honest here because this is bugging me and I think it should not even be an issue or something I am even thinking about. If one gets pregnant and has a baby shouldn't everything else (especially training and racing when it is only a hobby) be not as important. So, here is what is bugging me. I feel like if I get pregnant and have a baby I am going to lose you. (okay said it, and I can't believe I just said that). You are like my therapist, my rock. I can't imagine life without you in it. Anyway, what happens? Being pregnant I obviously can't race. The first year or so will probably be tough. Have you gone through this before with other athletes? Can you stay on board with me through it all? Do we take a break? Can I have you back?
Okay, let er rip.
Schedule-
1- I get to go to San Jose in February for work!! February 9th-15th. I have a training on the 9th-13th and then my mom is going to fly over (they are in AZ) for the weekend. We are going to hang out in San Francisco or Marin County or something for a couple of days. I hope we are moved in by then. I looked into bringing my bike but the training is 9-5 and the sun sets at 6. Probably won't work. I want to try and find an outdoor pool to swim and there is definitely running and PT. My thought is to go to training, workout, eat dinner, and go to bed.
2- This week. Nothing huge. Lots of data analysis. Helping a grad student to not get scooped. Monday is a holiday that I will take to finalize things on the house.
Highlights from the week:
Friday- Ran on the treadmill. Just felt like sweating it out rather than being cold outside (it was cold out too). First- have you ever seen those human powered treadmills? Started out on one because the others were full. They are hard. It is hard to control speed. Kind of fun though. Second- keep getting bloody noses. Got one while running. Think it is the dry air. Feeling good though. Chiro and PT is definitely doing something good. Did a good PT session after.
Saturday ski- Absolutely beautiful and fast conditions. The sun came out for a couple of hours which happened to be the couple of hours that we were skiing. We made it to the lookout. About 7.5 miles up. Fast going up and even faster going down. So much fun.
LeAnn (my awesome Helena tri buddy) was in town on Thursday. We met up to chat because she is the new Spring Meadow race director. I think we need a collegiate qualifier race in Montana. It sounds like they are going to look into it. Yeah! She went to Masters and then we ate fried chicken for dinner. Am most likely going to go to St. George with her.
Sunday ride- Got on bike pretty late. 7pm. Later than normal especially for the weekend. Was sort of wondering if odd hours of training is bad for me? Workout was really, really good. I hate high cadence. Especially on the trainer. It is really hard. I don't have a high cadence. However, it seems like it sets me up for harder intervals well. I felt like riding and felt like pushing those 20x1 minute intervals. (I did the ride on the trainer. Not enough time to disassemble the set-up)
Questions:
When going easy for swimming, biking, and running, how easy? Here are some examples- I can swim really, really slow. Bad enough that people pass me at Masters or I will get lapped in warm up. However, I can also put in the effort to swim really hard and I am often swimming slow to recover. Also, I can run a 10 minute mile pace on the treadmill and it doesn't feel that easy. On the trainer I can spin very easy and sometimes slowly (no high cadence there) Should my easier be getting faster? Should my easy pace in swimming be faster? Running? Why is it that I can run a race faster than I ever do in training? (running).
