happy new year, today marks the first day I blog on the training blog for 2009. yesterday, I started my official training for the season. boy…, was that an awakening…?! the training day that I thought was going to be an easy day of training tuned into a definite work load training. it started with the 10mile bike test on the computrainer, which i guess i kind of voluntarily do. it was pretty hard; considering i had to reach certain heart rate and certain cadence. then, i had to maintain that for a period of time. in comparison to my other teammates that was in the gym, their workout is definitely lighter than mine. then again, i guess i kind of ‘paying’ for what i did and did not do during the first 3-4 workout days with the team.
it was pretty nice to be back training with teammates. see a couple of new faces and of course, old faces always there. this year’s team is definitely different. a lot of new people. a lot of unknown. in a way, i really think it’s great. i, personally, definitely excited for this season. a couple of new goals. opportunities to train with pretty much a totally different group of people.
unknown?! for me, somehow this year had started with that. quite a few things that i am unknown. it’s not that i don’t know what to do, or what i want to do, but maybe it’s just the result. then again, in a way, i actually feel this year, GOD definitely wants to teach me something new in relation to the realm of the unknown. on the other hand, i also felt that GOD wants me to fully committed to HIM. to believe and trust HIM even more, to really really walk by faith in HIM and with HIM. hm….interesting…..i just now thought about that…
the bike training was followed by swim training. i wasn’t so sure why i swam yesterday, but somehow, i just felt i didn’t want to fall behind too far from my teammates, that i decided to do some cool down swimming. i did about 40min of swim. not too bad. i always enjoy swimming. it is one of the reasons i’m doing tri. saw a couple of my teammates in the pool and i was able to do some drills.
The first day ended with a bowl of pasta and rest.
After having been talked to a couple of my teammates, here are the list of camps and races that as of now i’ll be doing;
columbus camp
portsmouth camp
cap city half
gct
triple-t
others are still being decided…
