Training 24/7 The Life of a Triathlete

We created this video which cronicles my training for St. Croix 70.3 starting in November 2007. I knew in February I would be giving a talk to some elementary school students to introduce them to triathlon, sports nutrition and what it means to have faith in yourself and your dreams. This video really brought my training to life for them.

Not only did the kids love the video, I can now say it was all worth it. I traveled to St. Croix in May of 2008 and placed first in my age group of 25-29 females. I qualified and competed in the Hawaii Ironman World Championships on October 10, 2008. I was blessed to have a great day and in my first ironman I finished in a time of 10 hours 58 mins, 9th female in the world in the 25-29 age group.

I have been taking walks early in the morning now, hitting the gym for strength training in the afternoon, and take a jog in the evening. Its a start but I feel better already watching this.

I really love this kind of clip. Fall in love with Youtube due to this sort of content.

My relative was formerly bullied. He said he was going to get bigger muscle mass. I did not believe him. Until within a few weeks he added 40 pounds of full-strength muscle mass. He tried the Muscle Building Bible - look in Google. Not a soul dares to intimidate the man nowadays. :-) I registered a few days ago. See what the results are. Not to mention the guys emails are fascinating!

Good point, however triathlon training is about combining three sports. So we often train at least two sports in a given day, for example; swim in the morning, bike at night, or swim in the morning and run at night. So yes, I believe her workout schedule is accurate.
