The Day of the Event!

2010-10-24T05:22:00.000-07:00

Well, today is the day! It is 5:23am and I'm about to pack my bag and get to the race / challenge. I'm so excited and nervous. The weekend has been wonderful with all of the events! I feel prepared and ready to rock it!

Here we Go!

So we are weeks away from the event. I am now calling the San Diego Triathlon Challenge an event rather than a race. I have kicked up my training the last two weeks. This week included over 60 miles on the bike over 20 miles in running and just over 2 miles in swimming. The event is 10-24-10 and I'm so excited.

Sammy Super Friends has grown from like 9 people to over 50. It is so motivating to know all these people want to compete and raise money for a great charity. Saturday I rode bikes with Shawn (sammy's dad) and he is thrilled about the progress.

I am going to my first official yoga class in an hour, hope I don't fart. Haha.

Tuesday Night ride & swim

2010-08-10T17:54:00.000-07:00

So I got 2.5 months to go and tonight I'm riding to the pool (4 miles) then swim a mile then ride home for some dinner.

Wish me luck

Ok I've had vacation and job switching to slow me down. But now I am back on it 110%. Got a ride today for 22 miles and then a short 30 min run. Should be fun!

Have a great one!

Happy July fourth!

Yesterday I ran 6 miles in torrey pines then biked about 20 miles. Nice quick workout, plan to hit gutcheck all week, with a few swims then Carlsbad Sprint this Sunday, should be a lot of fun.

I'll keep you posted!

Swim - Bike - Gut Check Boot Camp

2010-06-06T04:44:00.000-07:00

This week I worked out each morning with the Gut Check Crew and on Wed night I surfed and caught a MTB ride on Thursday night. Saturday morning Kevin and I hit the pool at 6:03am, we completed 200m, 4x50m, 100m, 4x25m then 4 mins of treading water. We jumped on our mountain bikes and knocked out 10 miles in the canyon. Finished up our work out with Gut Check boot camp. I got paired with Fran, who was using 50lb dumbbells and my arms are killing me. Today I am hitting a small ride then a short run.

On a side note I tried Vita Coco this week, it's coconut water, I liked the hydration and it was best served cold.

No beer this weekend!

MoonLight Beach

2010-05-29T09:15:00.000-07:00

So today I wanted to perform a test. I rode from my house to Moonlight beach, met my buddy Clyde and we ran 6.4 miles then I rode home. So this was an approximate half of the CAF bike and run distance. Bike part was 26.8 and run 6.4, the race will be 56 miles and 13.1. I have some work to do! Tomorrow Swim & Bike!

Dear Superfriends,

Well my plan was to work out with the Gut Check Crew @ 6am, but I forgot to set my alarm. I awoke at 5:44am, not enough time to pack the bag and get to Joe. So I jumped on my bike for a fast 8.3 mile ride. I am sweaty and need to get a shower! No beer before work.

May 22, 2010 Swim Bike Run

2010-05-22T15:24:00.000-07:00

Hi Super Friends,

I'll use this blog to update on my training to swim bike run for CAF 2010. Today at 830 I hit the pool with Kevin, we had 20 mins of freestyle swimming then onto our Mountain Bikes. We rode in the canyon for 15 miles then hit the pavement for a quick 3 mile run. We took our time and enjoyed the exercise. In true Big Ron fashion we ended with a beer outside my garage. Tomorrow I'll hit some more longer distances on my road bike and run a few more miles. See you on the trail or the road!
