Training Journal

I am training for both Xterra triathlons and mountain bike races. I am not very fast yet(thus the need for training). If you have suggestions for how I could improve my workouts, leave a comment.

Woo hoo Clarks TT

I decided when I woke up this morning to do the Clarks Time Trial. I felt fairly rested, and it has been almost a month since I did it. I was hoping that my training over that month would allow me to show some improvement. My previous time was 13:53 and I was hoping to break the 13 minute mark this year. I had an apple and half banana. Then headed out to the trail. I did about a 5 minute warm up and then started up. I tried to push it on the climbs, and really push it the second half especially toward the end. I was pretty pumped when I passed the sign at the top at 12:59.
