Breaking News

Tdisc is holding a news conference at 5 o'clock pm where it is expected they will announce the folding of the team. This mornings workout took a turn for the worst which led to one member yelling at another. If I do tell more it could put 2 peoples lives in jeopardy tonight while they sleep.

To blog or not to blog?

Tonight I was just sitting in my chair watching the rankin family reunion(with the volume at 80) thinking about what it's going to be like on July 5th in Fredericton. What happens if it's raining? What happens if i'm not feeling good? Is it possible for me to be ready for it?
My weekend was what I would call quite boring. I had a lot of time to myself which isn't good cause that just means more time for bad thoughts to creep in. I also felt like I had a dose of TAS(The Admiral Syndrome). It is when you can't relax. I just felt like I always had to be doing something rather than just relaxing.
After a good workout on saturday...I followed it up with just a fair workout today. I napped in the afternoon and never regrouped. I tried biking for a bit and then ended up with a short stretch.
I was looking at the schedule today and the months are flying by. I began to get stressed at the amount of stuff going on and where am I going to find the time to get where I need to be for the triathlon season.
I was reading a triathlon book tonight...and it was focusing on swimming. I was eating handfulls of tums as I flipped through pictures of a body of water with swim caps everywhere. I really don't know what to expect. I know the high of finishing a tri will be unbelievable...but will it be overshadowed by the low that comes with a thumping?
102 days till the Red Island Relay! Back to work tommorow.

Just another day

Not much to report on the Tdisc front today. I had a great day swimming and running with the admiral. Tdisckree(work) and Tdiscgreggy(work) were both absent from today's workout.
Tdiscadmiral and I did 1500 meters of swimming than went for a 45 min. jog on the track. We faced a bit of adversity today in the pool and on the track. When you don't have a full squad people try to push Tdisc around. Walkers were going 3 wide by times trying to frig Tdisc up. overall we had a pretty good run. I felt great in both places today.
Tommorow would usually be an off day for Tdisc but with the way the week has gone.....some took friday off and some didn't. I know Tdisckree is opting for another off day...but I am going to swim and bike on the indoor trainer. No word yet from the remainder of the team.
Quiet days like we had today really show that Tdisc is becoming focused on the job at hand. We've settled into a bit of a groove. Our bodies are starting to really adjust to the training and we know where we are and where we want to be. There's not enough time to frig around anymore...the season is right around the corner.
Valentine's day usually puts me into a funk...but I think Tdisc will be enough to keep me out of it this year. Hopefully tommorow will be another good day leading into monday. Happy friggen Valentine's day.

Breakfast it is!

I wasn't feeling great last night after I finished working on blog. So I took a couple tylenol and laid down for a bit hoping it would go away. Still not feeling well I decided to go to be thinking for sure I was going to be sick. I tossed and turned a bit before I got to sleep...next thing I knew it was 6 am. I still didn't feel great but I knew that staying in bed just isn't in the tdisc vocabulary...unless you have a T(w) after it. I put on my workout clothes and went out to start the cars...much to my surprise it was like a full on storm. I went back inside grabbed a very light breakfast...checked the nashville boxscore then proceeded to the TTF.
When I arrived I noticed the lights weren't on in the gym. Uh oh....did this place delay till 10? We waited around for a bit then we got the bad news....upei delayed opening till 10. Not wanting to shut things totally down we went to the TTF to get changed and at least go for a swim. While sitting there a suggestion came out...."Off day and breaky boys?" offered Tdisckree. "NO! I can't be seen in public." Tdiscgreggy and I in the middle....something had to give....Tdisckree swims...or Tdiscadmiral screws up his day with a change of plans.
Eventually Tdisckree won the battle and we left the TTF for maid's. We had a great breakfast over a lot of triathlon talk. We crunched out a few numbers then went our seperate ways for the day.
Still feeling just common tonight, I'll be looking for lots of rest before a hard day tommorow. I think the plan is swim for an hour and run for an hour. Should be a great day.

Till next time,
