Ironmann Texas 2015

Guess where Bonnie and I will be this May?!  Anyone going to be there? 
 
Bonnie wants to finish the race in her boots and cowboy hat.  I just want to cross the finish line not requiring another surgery.
 
I've been training with two new coaches. 
 
My new master's swim coach seems to think I'm a swimmer (not a triathlete) and has proceeded to pound me into submission.  I keep telling here I AM NOT A SWIMMER but she does not listen.  I can not keep up with all the real swimmers.  Many of them swam in college (I just drank and struck out with girls in college).  One tried out for the Olympic team and another holds a breast stroke record.  I do not stand a chance!! But it does make me a faster and better triathlete "swimmer."
 
My new run coach seems to think I'm a slacker and am holding back.  On Thursday we did a tempo run with about seven people.  All but two (one was me) of these people are Boston qualifiers.  My warm up was at a 7:15 pace (which I held for a little then proceeded to dropped like a rock/bolder).  I think she will make me a much better runner.  This is one area I could really improve in.
 
Hope everyone is doing well.  Hopefully I will see some of you at Texas this year.

  1. I've known quite a few people that have done Texas. You've already done a bunch of 70'3's so you'll be fine!
