Whiskey Row Off-Road

There is actually a race on my 2010 schedule. The Whiskey Row Off-Road 25 proof (although I hear it is more like 29) will be my first event of 2010. I'm really getting excited for this race and it looks like it is attracting quite a crowd of racers including the likes of Tinker Juarez. I'm not expecting anything big results wise, just looking to have a good time in the Arizona high country.
My routine lately has been:
Monday: swim /lift
Tuesday: lift / ultimate practice
Wednesday: road bike 40 / lift
Thursday: yoga / lift
Friday: road bike 40 /lift
Saturday: MTB or Ultimate / yoga
Sunday: lift
So there hasn't been a ton of time in the saddle lately, but I'm changing that. This morning I had a beautiful ride on SoMo's Desert Classic Trail just as the sun was rising. I'm enjoying the cool mornings while they last (62) because all too soon it will be brutal - even at sunrise.
I'm starting to get a handle back on life so hopefully that translates into more training, blogging, and racing. Stay tuned and enjoy the weekend.

Like old times

Friday -1000m swim/ lifted chest/back
Saturday - 7.5 road/10 MTB/7.5 road + 1hr yoga class
Sunday - 20 mile road ride

Now that it's April

No single event prompted my return to the blogosphere. I've been busy working hard, pursuing new projects, and living the active life I always expect from myself. Somewhere in there the blog fell of the radar. Perhaps part of the extended absence is the realization several months ago that I could not complete this year's XTERRA season. Fewer race weekends mean fewer opportunities for points, and with limited funds and several conflicts on the close races I didn't see the point to sport specific training. Instead, I've been enjoying being active and am looking forward to several new athletic challenges. More details and updates to come. I'm back!
