Wednesday of First week
Got up in the morning and rode the rollers. Jaimee was in town with her new little baby Rose so I wanted to see her. Went to Masters swim for about and hour and got out. Had dinner with Jaimee and Cassie and Colombos. Feeling especially tired.
Thursday
Had a meeting at 7 so the ride got cut a little short. Was more like 145. Did the intervals thought. Did the run with the intervals and felt good. Still feeling especially tired this week.
Friday
Work was huge and didn't get done until after 5. The pool was only open until 6 and then I made plans to see Jaimee but Rose was going to sleep at 630. So after so much agonizing skipped out on the pool. Still really tired and felt like it was a stressful week trying to see Jaimee, go the the meeting on Thursday night etc. Ready for the weekend and for the next week.
Sat.
Got up and went out to Lewis and Clark Caverns for the race. Signed up for the B race which was one lap then went out on an hour pre-race ride. Worked really hard in the race. Stayed with the pack up the hill and chased Anna down once. Maybe not very smart because I wasn't saving anything. Got dropped right before the downhill. Kind of glad I did. Rode easier back and there was a crash. Don't want to get caught in one of those. Then got out the TT bike and did another lap. The wind had picked up a lot and this lap was one to develop some mental toughness and finding of my happy place. Felt tired, but really good to finish the ride. 5+ hours and around 85 miles!!!
Sunday
Got the run in. Felt kind of tired near the end. Maybe needed more than one get for that time. Did a lot of it on pavement.
Swim- don't really remember. Must have been pretty uneventful. Think I need to work harder in the pool. Get over some fear of hurting and going far. Need to push myself more. Not afraid to go there on the bike. Why is it so hard in the pool.
Monday
Masters swim. Did lots of long distances. Felt really good. My bad week last week is turning around. Carrie gave me a new swimsuit so now I have something to wear for the Grizzly since my awesome Muleterro suit didn't get in on time.
Got a DVD from Amy with the Biggest Loser lady trainer. Wanted to do some of her core but could't get the DVD working. Maybe next time. Just did my own thing and some stretching for a while.
Tuesday
Run- Did the strides up and down a street by work. My shins and ankles were really sore for the next few days after these.
Ride- Went to Computrainer and did the workout with them. It was these 30 sec. intervals at varying levels above threshold with a long recovery between. Seemed very ineffective to me. Didn't give it my all on the intervals just kep the pedals going around and then on the recovery did some high cadence. Did my workout the 2nd hour after they all left. It was motivating to be riding with people for some of the ride. Got in a good workout and am still feeling great this week.
Wed.
Masters swim. Practiced flip turns and am keeping up with Dan and Tony. My new feeling of speed didn't show at the Grizzly. Wish my swim times were faster. Maybe my form is better so I am using less energy and can put that into the bike and run.
Thurs.
Run 30 min
Ride 130. Pretty uneventful. Nothing too hard.
Friday
Went to pool in the am. MSU had a student holiday and pool was closed. Ran for 20 minutes and used the weights with hardly any weight to target my arms and back. The best I could do without a swim.
Sat.
Race!!! Nervous before but Anna and Lisa showed up at the last minute to take my mind off of it. Last one out of the pool. I told you I have no shame. The bike was fun. Kept passing people all the way to the last corner. Lots of fast runners behind me. Needed as much time as possible. The run was good. Finished 7th. Happy with my time and place. Exceeded my goal of at least 10. Want to do even better next year.
Sun,
Tired from the weekend. Got up early Sat. to support Mary who was in the first heat. Went on a 3 hour ride with Erik. Wasn't very organized and didn't do so well with nutrition. Ate a Luna bar and drank acclerade. Stomach okay. Was pretty bonked and tired when we got home and totally missed the run. Should have double checked my plan before starting out. Went up some hills on the bike but probably should have done more.
Monday
Tired. Going to Master swim.

This next week
Tuesday: Had a big day at work so did the workouts after. Left work at 4 to get home and get things done. Ran outside for 45 minutes or so and did the 6X90 second strides. We should actually talk about what you mean by strides? Felt good to run fast and tried to really think about my form. Wish I was a faster runner, where is all the effort going? Rode the trainer when I got home. Rode for 1:30 and put it in some harder gears to imitate hills. Did them variable from short harder ones to longer easier ones. Wed. Rode the TT bike for the first time outside. Wow that was fun!!! Kind of missed that I had an actual workout. Think it was ok. Had a really strong headwind on the uphill and rode uphill all the way out of town. Masters swim- felt really strong, but maybe Tony and Dan were slow. Dan is a big guy and if I get into his draft I can keep up with them. It was a fun workout with lots of 400s and 300s alternating some IM strokes. Thursday Snowing today, so wasn't to motivated to run, so drove over to trail. It was actually really beautiful out and had a really nice run. Watched a lof of mallards hanging out in the snow. Spring snow is so different from winter snow. Rode the rollers after work. Lisa and John invited us over for dins so didn't ride for much more than an hour. Am having a hard time staying motivated on the trainer. Actually my trainer broke and I have been borrowing Rich's. Don't like the way it works. Would rather ride the rollers. Friday Swim after work. Like spending the time doing drills. Good for my swimming. Sat. The weather was somewhat uncooperative. Decided not to risk it and went to Computrainer. Carrie, Lawrence, and Jeff L. were there which was nice. Did the 3X30 minute intervals and maybe another 20 minute one trying to finish out the ride. Brought 3 bottles of Accelerade with 360 calories each (one for each hour). These fulfilled me. Ran right after for ~20 minutes and other than an orange flavored burp my stomach was just fine. Going to stick with Accelerade for the time being. Nutrition cost me 9$ for that ride. Am trying to get RH to carry the stuff so I can get a discount on it. This is an expensive sport. The accelerade had the suggested amount of sodium that I needed so didn't supplement with anything else. Might get some nodoz for caffeine. Sun. Breakfast with Jenny and her friends. That was fun and lasted a while. Then went and ran. The first 3 4 minute tempo parts were good, but I was pretty tired for the last one. Tripped going down a curb early in the run and now my ankle is pretty sore. Hurts to take my foot out of the bike pedal. Debated about riding outside and decided to go with it. Sooooo glad I did. The sun came out and the ride ended up being really nice. Maybe a little harder than you wanted but it was sooo nice out. Got a massage within an hour of the ride. Matt really worked my neck and shoulders which needed it. Turns out some whiplash from when I was 18 might be causing my back to be so sore. Felt really good afterwards and on Monday. Maybe Sun night is the day to get the massage. Matt is great because he is so flexible. Monday Nice morning communte. Will go to swimming this evening. The sun is out, but probably not for long.

3/29/11-4/5/11
Followed the training for the week. Didn't spin on Wed. after swimming, basically because I forgot, but had a good swim workout consisting of lots of dolphin kick for core, wall pushups, and wall squats. Stayed longer than 1 hour. Was very sore the next day. Rode on Thursday inside since I was still coughing a little. Swam on Friday and accidently skipped the core. Work was busy and we got in the car to head up to the Flathead. Sat. Race was shortened a little because of the muddy weather, but leave it to Matt Seeley to make us go over the one hill 3x. Stayed with the pack to the headwind muddy section. Caught a few wheels and powered through it. Ended up riding with Eli from Missoula. Helped each other in the windy sections and got pulled by some big dude for a while. Felt good because I had the extra umph to catch back on a wheel if I lost it. Usually this doesn't happen and I end up riding alone. The wind was strong and I didn't want to be alone. Eli was great. Learned a lot about racing just riding with him. About half way through the last lap started to feel I was bonking. Sucked down everything I had but didn't make it to the finish. About 3 miles from the end it was all I could do to still pedal. Finished the race though and won!!! Felt soo much better than when raced it last year. Time was 2:50. Sun. 1hour run. Started out slow but ended up doing some hills and finished pretty strong. Swim- the swim was pretty pathetic. My back was sooo sore from Sat. and it hurt to swim. Did the workout and got out. Monday Masters swim. Shelly was on top of it tonight and had her stopwatches going. Got in lots of 100's and 75's. Legs were dead and kicking was hard. Felt better than swimming on Sunday. Tuesday Big day at work. Might have to do the run and the ride after work. Can probably leave at 4 if I get in a 8. Ride in Yellowstone might happen next week instead of this weekend. The weather isn't looking good. I can take a day off though and if I need feel okay about taking some days off for other big training days. I think if I work it around big work days it will be fine with my boss.
3/21/2011
3/15/11-3/22/11
Tuesday: Sick, stayed home all day. Barely left the couch.
Wed: Still sick. Stayed home. Went to the Mule clothing try on party. Ordered some new mule gear for this year. Came home and took it easy.
Thurs.
Felt better so got up and went in to work. Nothing huge at work today so still took it easy.
Went home and the weather seemed nice so went out on a ride with Erik. Just an hour of easy spinning. The cold wind was making me cough. This night my neck and head were very sore and tired. Maybe from coughing. My eyes hurt too.
Friday
Had to get up early for a big mouse day at work. Felt pretty crappy. Ughh. My neck and eyes hurt. Took some ibuprofen. Had a big day at work. Lots going on and helping the undergrad doesn't make it any easier. Skipped run becuase I didn't have time. Also didn't make time because I wasn't feeling great. Went and got another massage. Matt really worked my legs. I guess my IT band area is very very tight. Went home did some chores and went to bed. Erik and some of the other Mules were getting ready to leave for Clinton for the race the next day.
Sat.
Slept in. Made breakfast. Did some chores. Had a traumatic experience at the mouse house. Went on a run. Felt like crap. Everytime I had to go up a hill my whole body just revolted. Legs tired, cardio tired. Ran for ~an hour. Slow trot and some walking up hills. Not feeling good.
Rallied and jumped into pool for a little while. Did a warm up, some drills and got out. The moisture in the air was really good. Felt much better after swimming.
Had a nice evening with Megan L. Made dinner and chatted over a little wine and tea for a long time. Glad to have a chance to catch up with friends.
Sun.
Slept in. Still not feeling great. Nose will not stop being plugged up. Nose and lips are getting irritated. Keep using netty pot to clear out nose. The weather was a little cold and I really wanted to get outside to ride. Called Lisa and went to breakfast.
Around 3 rallied and went on a nice long ride by myself. The weather was good, but going into the wind I would start coughing. The same thing as running, going up hills my legs and cardio would revolt. Took the ride very easy though. Enjoyed the sights and was amazed at all the new building in the area despite this recession. The dirt roads are perfect right now. Not graded, just some slightly tacky dirt.
Came home and ate some spicy bone marrow soup. Really felt good in clearing out my sinuses. Thanks Erik for cooking.
Woke up again last night with neck very sore. Seems to be related to biking. Took some ibuprofen and went to work.
Note on health- Nose is still congested and coughing from the nasal drip. Body feeling tired still. Ugghh. Want to get over this cold. I keep wanting to be outside, but the cold air really makes me cough. Should maybe stick to some inside training for a while or not go out unless it is really warm. I don't think I am ready for a hard week to start on Wed.

3/14/2011
3/9/11 to 3/15/11
Wed.
Ran during lunch. Felt good. Nice to be outside
PM- Masters swim- A Jordan workout. Lots of wall pushups, dolphin kick in the deep end, and sculling. My arms were pretty sore after this workout. Did core afterwards.
Thursday
A cold has come on. Feeling a little achy and my throat is a little sore. Wonder if I got it from Noah. Went to team trainer night and rode, just spun. Felt good to ride and drank lots of water.
Friday
Skipped out on the options and got a massage instead. Matt didn't work too hard because of the race and me being sick. Will go again next week.
Sat.
Race day- Not feeling 100%. Decided to just run at a good comfortable pace and not try and race. Susan had a cold too and some stomach problems so we ran together. It was a good solid run. We finished ~1:48. My results were all screwy but her pace was an 8:14. I will take that. The other thing was that I wanted to physically feel better that last year when I did this run. I definitely did! The inhaler is working.
We got drunk at the bar. It was a pretty fun afternoon. Drank lots of water and went to bed around 9pm.
Sun.
Beautiful day!! The Mules had a planned ride that I partook in. Took out the cross bike and did some dirt and pavement. Ride was about 3hours not including some of the stopping time. Tried to take it easy since my cold is still here.
PM- Ended up going to Masters swim instead of doing to swim workout. Couldn't get there early enough. The pool is though when I have a mildly sore throat. It makes it hurt worse. The workout was a long warmup some kicking and some fast 100s 50s and 25s. All free. Hope that was okay to deviate from the plan.
Monday
Still have a cold. I am thinking now that I need to take one of those easy weeks to get over this cold. Called in sick to work this morning. Probably tired from the big weekend and the cold. Will work this afternoon and see how I feel tonight for a swim. The gym closes at 7 so it will only be ~45 minutes.

Week of 3/1/11-3/8/11
Tuesday
Did the prescribed ride. Am starting to settle into the high cadence better. At first these were really though, now can spin pretty hard without getting too fatigued. Ride was pretty tought but not too imprinted on my mind so was probably okay.
Wed.
AM- Ran on the treadmill. The 10x30 sec. strides felt really good. It was fun to open up and run really fast. Kept upping the speed on the treadmill.
PM- Masters swim- lots of 50's and 100's. Then some 200s. Still can keep up on the shorter stuff but get behind on the 200s. The total yardage for the day was 3600. I thought it was a pretty solid swim.
Forgot the core workout. Was pretty set on food after the swim. Oops.
Thursday
AM-Ran hills outside in the morning. Can't stand the treadmill. If I have to ride inside at least I should run outside. Went over to Petes hill and ran up and down all the trails. Lots of hills. My legs wouldn't let me push it though. Tried to run fast, but couldn't. Lost track of time and run ended up being an hour.
PM- Group ride with Muleterro. Buck Mule did the workout with me which was nice. The workout was pretty hard. Was pretty famished by the time it was over. Glad for a rest day tomorrow.
Friday
Glad for day off. Ended having to give a poster and stand for a few hours anyway. Drove up to Whitefish after work.
Sat.
Forecast in Kalispell called for snow. Did the ride inside on the trainer with Noah (3 year old nephew) on his horse next to me. It was pretty cute. He ate a couple of shot blocks. This ride was pretty intense. The other ones have been a lot more mixed up. Rode pretty hard the whole time obviously. Noah would talk to me and I would have to tell him he needed to wait for 5 minutes before I could figure out what he was saying. Sweated a lot. Tried to drink lots of calories and water.
After ride went to The Wave. What a fancy facility! MSU gym seems pretty ghetto in comparison. Swam. I always dread these swims, but they go by faster than I expect and I felt really good. Tried to swim pretty hard this time too. Then I went down the waterslide. That was pretty fun. Got going soooo fast. It even scared me a little. Then sat in the hot tub and used to the jets to massage my IT band. Then went out and lifted and did core for a while. I think I go my moneys worth. That place is fun. Then went over the Taco del Sol for a fish burrito. Mmmmm.
Good day!!!!
Sunday
Beautiful sunny cold morning in the Flathead!!! Got out on a run and even got a little sunburn on my face. Sounds weird, but yeah!!! The run was good. More rolling than maybe you wanted. Did the 15 minutes at a faster pace and felt good. Could have gone a little longer. The roads were a little mucky so it was hard to find footing without getting wet. Also met some very very cute dogs. I am still a little afraid of getting bit.
Did some good stretching and core. Very cored out!!

Week of 2/23-3/1/11
Tuesday
Run- outisde and on a little loop that leads from work over the the trails and back. Did the 6x1 minute strides. The first one hurt, but the rest felt good. It felt good to try and really open up.
Rode at home doing the prescribed workout. Was soo happy it was on the trainer not on the rollers. The four minute efforts were pretty hard. I was definitely feeling it by the end of the workout. Ahh Tuesdays!!!
Wednesday
Masters swim
Tonight was a typical Jordan workout. We started with 200 SKIPS then moved on to lots of wall pushups and dolphin kick (vertical in the deep end and across the pool). We also did some sculling and lots of 100s. I finished it off with a few swim, pull, and kicks. This was a good core workout. The muscles around my ribcage are still a little tender days later.
Thursday
Met Susan at the gym at 730 to get in my run. I am going to do that more often. Feel like everyweek I have one slacker workout and this was probably it. Set a pretty slow pace on the treadmill and gave myself no incline for the entire run. Did the 2X1 mile tempos. Those were good. A little more than an 8 min. mile pace. Felt really good after the run. Wasn't tired.
Erik and I went to Team trainer night. He and I were the only ones to show up. I guess we could have stayed home. It was soooo cold that night and day. Probably the coldest I have ever felt it in Bozeman. The ride was good 1:30 on rollers. Peters little studio is pretty sweet!!
Friday
Ran on the treadmill at the gym for about 25 minutes. Didn't think I was going to get that run in. Very busy and early day at work. Meeting with the Tritons at 530.
Saturday
Lots of people at Computrainer. So funny. One guy is training for IM St George and lives in Clyde Park. He swims in the Best Western pool in Livingston. Said one of the first days the maintenance guy said it was the law to leave in the rope by the deep and so he was having to swim duck swim turn rather than swim swim swim turn. Anyway, should stop complaining about pool. At least I have one. Ride was good. I actually rode for 3hrs. The 4x10 minutes took me right to 3:45. Maybe did and extra one of the 10x everythings. I have to have a pen and make tick marks otherwise can't remember what I have done. The last 15 was very easy though.
Swim- went over to long course city pool and guess what? It was closed because of a maintenance problem. I feel so bad for people who really rely on that pool for whatever reason. Went up to MSu and thankfully it wasn't just rec swim but they also had lane lines in. I am not even bothering with the public pool anymore. The swim was good!!! I felt super strong. Did the 1800 continuous no problem. Practiced lots of flip turns. There must have been a youth group or something there. Got caught in the locker room with a bunch of teenagers. Had to wait forver for a shower. It was pretty funny though. Them all doing their hair etc.
Sunday
