focus

why in the world do we have this many focus training? ironman, oh yeach....i'm doing a full-ironman distance. yeach.....the tri training had gone on 2 different focus training. i was done with the run focus training and i thought it was pretty good and succesful, then it was the swim focus, which was alwmost done. and now, it is abt to move on to the bike focus. weather, so far hadot been very helpful in terms of doing training outside. it's been cold, snowy, and even temperature in the rigid teens, and sometimes even lower in the single digit.

what had i learn so far?

keeping the blood flow in your body throughout by increasing heart rate. especially on the bike, i guess i had not been doing hard training on the bike. then again, the bike focus is not here yet either.

the beard that i had grown so far, had definitely slow me down in the pool. so, racing with beard is definitely not for me. yes, i had grown some beard for a couple of weeks. not sure why. i think it started jst as a trial to following the trend in the office and some of my teammate, to finally, i actually felt the drag in the water while i was swimming. it felty like i needed extra effort in doing the stroke in the water that i actually was even much more tired after the swim than b4. then again, could it be caused by the amount of time i used throughout the day and nite for work, training and other stuffs that i had not take the time to actually really really rest?

we'll see.

today, i was able to take the time to get away from everything. from work, training, everything to actually just rest, relax. don't think i had this kind of time since the beginning of the year.
