Old Man winter

It is bone chilling cold out there today. I have started back into training again for the up coming season. I have decided to do the FIRMAN in Sept as a my A race. This is where I did my first half. I am also going up t Lake Placid to volunteer this year at the Ironman. Might be able to convince my brother to come along and maybe register?

Things have been frustrating the past few weeks. Christmas was great, the kids had a blast. Right before that I sent my bike into get tuned up and they found a crack in my NEW Guru Crono. Needless to say I was more than upset and kind went into a battle with Guru about what they were going to do with it. Bottom line is that they are going to replace the frame and add a custom paint. So, I am now without a bike and don't really know what to expect. Fit Werx will keep me posted.

Got back into the pool yesterday and it felt good to swim but man have a lost a little. No worries though, it is going to become my main focus for fitness this winter. Along with 3 swims a week I am going to work on my power output and try to build as much stamina as possible. With that I plan on good January and February. Hope it goes by as quick as Christmas did.

I saw this quote today and thought, wow! I hope I do not offend the person who said but I would like to post it...

As a child I prayed for the burden to pass; Now as a Man I pray for the strength to bear the burden.
