did my first real bike-run brick yesterday it was pretty successful running on my part. legs feel like lead but because i was so preoccupied with the feeling i still managed an even 7 mile clip after 10 miles on the bike i was pleased. swam this morning and that is where i felt like crap- i am tired no biggie. tomorrow ill swim 50 laps and get back on track. ordered a book called bounce, after reading outliers this book hit the spot anyone out there (listening fabian) read that book it will change your perception of talent.

i have been letting down i know and i am sorry
yesterday did my first brick- went well swam 750 meters and ran 3 miles all in all a good workout
today i just finished a mile and a half running and 5 biking and i must say i am way out of biking shape it looks to be my worst event i have 2 weeks to work on that or i wont meet my time goal of 1hr 25mins
i am hoping i can borrow a decent bike mine is a mountain bike and it does take a lot more energy to move
weather is hot now and it will stay like this for at least 7 months workouts are either before dawn or indoors otherwise you risk heat stroke- thats brownsville living for you

Just played a very intensive tennis match last night and I lost 6-7 7-6 6-7 three straight tiebreakers and i feel i should have won- I really cant stand losing it sucks. How does this relate to endurance you ask- well for one, the stupid match lasted almost three hours which for amateur players is an eternity, but most importantly my right achilles is hurting like crazy. i have already torn my left achilles and it is a horrible injury to sustain and to come back from so naturally i am a bit worried that this will turn into something that could preclude me from running. Any suggestions out there? I am going to stretch it every day for sure and I hope that take care of it
Ok thats it for todays gripe

just got back from a fishing trip. pretty good as always although the fishing was a bit weak. I am ready to resume training tomorrow, and it is now on for the capital of texas triathlon. my friend's bachelor party was moved back a week (hell yea) so now i am looking at 30 days until the race. clock is ticking and although it is a sprint race it will prove challenging especially if i decide to ignore a serious training regiment
something has been troubling me of late- why the hell cant texas come up with one power running back- i mean we are texas- what gives?
